The AC loss is an important issue in the design of the high temperature superconductor (HTS) power cables and fault current limiters. In these applications, a cylindrical HTS conductor is often used. In commercialization of these apparatuses, AC loss is a critical factor but not elucidated completely because of complexities in its measurement, e.g. non-uniform current distribution and phase difference between currents flowing in an individual HTS tape. We have prepared two cylindrical conductors composed of a Bi-2223 tape with different critical current density. In this paper, the AC loss characteristics of the conductors have been experimentally investigated and numerically analyzed. The result show that the measured losses for two conductors are not dependent on both arrangements and contact positions of a voltage lead. This implies that most of loss flux is only in the conductors. The loss for the Bi-2223 conductor with low critical current density is in good agreement with the calculated loss from Monoblock model, whereas the loss measured for the Bi-2223 conductor with high critical current density doesn't coincide with the loss calculated from the Monoblock model. The measured loss is also different from numerically calculated one based on the polygon model especially in low transport current.

MOD Process using metal acetates or trifluoroacetates has been considered to be a strong candidate for a low cost fabrication process for coated conductor with high $J_e$. Recently, an economical MOI) process has been developed for coated conductor with high $J_c$ using low cost starting materials such as YBCO powders. YBCO thin films prepared by single coating on LAO substrate with this modified oxide-precursor solution gives transport $I_c$ of 100A/cm-w and the $J_c$ value of $2.9MA/cm^{2}$ (77K, Self-field). The YBCO coated conductor prepared by single coating with $CeO_2/IBAD-YSZ/SS$ tape gives transport $I_c$ of 50A/cm-w in 2cm. Characterization with XRD, SEM shows that the YBCO layers were epitaxially grown and exhibit well-developed dense micro-structures. This newly developed oxide-precursor based MOD process will provide a low cost route to coated conductor with high $J_c$.

Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is attractive apparatus to reduce fault current in power grid. Since it is applied to the alternating current (AC) power line, the SFCL has losses in the normal operation. Recently, coated conductor (CC) is noticeable material employed for resistive bifilar winding type SFCL in many research groups. Bifilar structure is expected to have low AC loss by magnetic field offset as compared with the single tape structure in the same length. This paper reports about characteristic of bifilar pancake type coil for SFCL application in AC loss aspect. The bifilar coil is wound using CC with facing on HTS sides each other. Transport AC loss measurement and characteristic analysis of the bifilar coil using CC have been performed at 77K. The test results are compared with the Norris equations and the test results of non-inductively wound paralleled solenoid type coil which is suggested and tested in this group at present.

The purpose of this work is to develop, integrate, and implement an optical characterization method to evaluate physical properties in coated conductors and investigate the local distribution of the causes of degraded performance. The method that we selected at this moment is Raman scattering spectroscopy, which is accompanied with measurements of local supercurrent transport, phase composition, microstructure, and epitaxy quality for coated conductors that range in size up to multi-meter-length tapes and that embrace the entire tape embodiment (substrate through cap layer). The establishment of Raman spectroscopy as an on-line process monitoring tool is our eventual goal of research, but it requires very robust and cost-effective equipments. We analyzed $YBa_2Cu_3O_7(YBCO)$ thin films grown at various substrate temperatures by using Raman spectroscopy. YBCO films were grown by a high-rate electron-beam co-evaporation method. Raman spectra of YBCO films with lower-transport properties exhibit additional phonon modes at ${\sim}300cm^{-1}$, ${\sim}600cm^{-1}$ and ${\sim}630cm^{-1}$, which are related to second-phases such as $Ba_2Cu_3O_{5.9}$ and $BaCuO_2$. We propose a new method to characterize Raman spectra of coated conductors for an in-line quality control.

필라멘트의 트위스트피치가 Bi-2223테이프의 통전손실에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험적으로 조사하였으며, 그 주요 결과는 Bi-2223테이프의 자기자계손실은 필라멘트의 트위스트피치에 의해서는 그다지 영향을 받지 않는 반면 외부교류자장 하에서 Bi-2223테이프에 발생되는 통전손실은 트위스트피치에 영향을 비교적 크게 받으며, 필라멘트의 트위스트피치가 작을수록 통전손실도 작아진다.

Stress/stram dependencies of the critical current $I_c$ in AgMgNi sheathed multifilamentary Bi(2212) superconducting tapes were evaluated at 77K, 0T. The external reinforcement was accomplished by soldering Ag-Mg tapes to sin91e side or both sides of the sample. With the external reinforcement. the strength of tapes increased but $I_c$, decreased The $I_c$, degradation characteristic according to the external reinforcement was improved markedly in terms of the stress although it appeared less rectal.table on the basis of the strain. Effects of external reinforcement were discussed in a viewpoint of monitoring sensitivity of cracking in superconducting filaments by considering n-value representing the transport behavior of the current. It is closely associated with the location of them relative to the voltage-monitoring region in the tape.

Superconducting joints between Bi-2223/Ag tapes are fabricated by a press & reaction anneal and a multiple press & anneal. The silver sheath was mechanically or chemically removed from one side of each tape without altering the superconducting core. The exposed superconducting core of the two tapes were brought into contact and pressed so as to form a lap joint. The joined tapes were then subjected to a series of different thermomechanical treatments to achieve optimum heat treatment condition. The result from transport measurements shows that critical current ($I_c$) transmitting through joined area reaches 9A, approximately 60% of the current capacity of the tapes themselves. The critical current through joined area was improved by repeated press and reaction annealing. Measurements of the current-voltage relationship were made with several configuration of the voltage probes to characterize the critical current variation and I-V curve along the joint. Also discussed are microstructural aspects of the superconducting joint.

AC losses in multifilamentary HTS tapes can be classified to hysteresis loss, coupling loss, and eddy current loss from the viewpoint of their generation mechanism. From the viewpoint of the major magnetic field component generating them, they can be classified to magnetization loss, transport loss, and total loss. Dividing superconductor to fine filaments, twisting filaments bundle and increasing transverse resistivity are effectively reduce magnetization loss and total loss when the external magnetic field is relatively large. Recently, twisted multifilamentary Bi 2223 tapes with pure silver matrix were fabricated and the reduction of magnetization loss was proved experimentally in the parallel magnetic field to the tape wide face. However, when the perpendicular magnetic field is applied, increasing transverse resistivity is required essentially to reduce the AC losses. The transverse resistivity was increased successfully by the introduction of resistive barrier between filaments.

It is important to estimate the total AC loss which is the total energy, or power, dissipated in the superconductor in the simultaneous application of AC transport current and an AC external magnetic field. Experimental and numerical works on AC loss estimation of high $T_c$ superconductors in the author's group are reviewed. The method and the set-up for total AC loss measurements are described. The experimental results for a twisted Bi-2223 multifilamentary tape and a Y-123 mm conductor are given. A general theory for numerical electromagnetic field analysis of superconductor by the finite element method is explained. The numerical results for twisted Bi-2223 multifilamentary tapes and a rectangular superconductor simulating coated conductors are presented.

Ultra fine MgO particles added BSCCO tapes were fabricated by tape casting using Doctor Blade Method and enclosed by silver foil for different starting compositions (that is, 2223 major, 2212 major). In order to obtain optimum microstructure, thermomechanical treatment was done. Microstructure and phase were analyzed by XRD, SEM and DTA. The critical current density was measured under magnetic field at 77K. The tapes fabricated from the precursor powder with BSCCO-2223 phase (>90%) result in a microstructure with a larger grain size and higher transport critical current density value under magnetic field at given thermomechanical treatment conditions.
