In recent years. YBCO coated conductor (CC) called as second generation HTS (high temperature superconducting) wire has been developed as a suitable material for resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). For designing the SFCL. the required length of superconducting wire is inverse proportional to the maximum temperature reached when a fault occurs. Since the required length strongly affects a manufacturing cost, it is the most important parameter to determine the maximum temperature reached. It is necessary to observe the repetitive over-current characteristics of HTS wire. This paper attempts to measure the variation of critical current of YBCO CC after repetitive over-current pulse. No degradation of the critical current of CC sample was observed by applying 100 times over-current pulse which makes temperature above 400 K after 100ms. This study can be useful in designing optimally resistive SFCL employing YBCO CC. The maximum permissible temperature can be set to 400K. so wire length could be reduced by 30% compared in case of 300K-criterion.

본 논문에서는 2세대 고온초전도 선재인 YBCO CC(Coated Conductor)를 사용하여 접합 없이 권선되는 새로운 형태의 고온초전도 팬케이크형 코일에 영구전류를 인가하기 위한 영구전류 스위치의 형태를 제안였다. 제안된 테이프 형태의 광폭 YBCO CC의 양끝부분을 제외한 중간부분을 2분할하여 감아 뒤집은 형태의 팬케이크 코일에는 접합부분이 없으므로 영구전류가 흐를 수 있으나, 전류의 인가를 위한 스위치를 별도로 제작하여 연결하기 곤란하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 감아 뒤집은 고온초전도 팬케이크 코일의 한쪽 단부를 영구전류 스위치로 사용할 수 있는 구조를 제안하였고, 추후 연구에 실제로 사용될 12 mm 폭의 YBCO CC를 사용하여 영구전류 스위치를 제작하고 특성시험을 수행하였다.

The tensile strain dependency of critical current in YBCO coated conductors was examined at 77K and in the self magnetic field. A commercially available YBCO sample with Cu stabilizer layer was supplied. There existed a peak in the relation between the Ie and tensile strain, and the reversible variation of $I_c$ with applied tensile strain was found. In the neutral axis Ni alloy RABiTS-$Y_2O_3$/YSZ/$CeO_2$ buffered YBCO tape, the $I_c$ recovered reversibly until the applied strain reached to about 0.5%, representing that a significant residual compressive strain induced during cooling to 77 K influenced the axial strain tolerance of YBCO conductors. To investigate the strain and stress influence on the $I_c$, the stress-strain characteristics of YBCO conductors measured at 77 K were discussed.

현재 고온 2세대 YBCO CC(Coated Conductor) 초전도 선재를 사용하여 초전도 전력기기를 제작하게 되면 BSCCO 선재보다 많은 전류를 인가할 수 있지만, 자화 손실도 더 많이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 폭 12 mm YBCO CC선재를 이용하여 자화 손실을 줄일 수 있는 몇 개의 샘플을 제작하고, 먼저 각 샘플에 대해 외부에서 수직으로 (${\theta}=90^{\circ}$) 가해지는 자장 값에 대한 자화 손실을 측정하였다. 그 후에 측정값을 이용하여 임의 방향으로 가해지는 자장 값들에 대한 자화 손실을 계산하고, 측정한 값과 비교하여 자화 손실의 패턴을 확인하였다.

YBCO coated conductor called the second-generation superconducting tapes have resistance increase significantly more than BSCCO tapes in terms of the speed or amount when quench occurs, they may have different ranges of application. Such characteristics are thought to get different properties by selection of stabilizing materials in manufacturing superconducting tapes. It is important in selecting superconducting tapes which will be applied to power devices in the future. In this study, one kind of BSCCO tapes and two kinds of YBCO CC with different stabilizing materials and one kind of YBCO CC with non stabilizing materials were used to compare and examine transport characteristics in flux-flow state and quench state with each tape joint of HTS tapes.

Multi-stacked HTS tapes are needed to conduct large current in the power application. In this paper, magnetization losses of the multi-stacked YBCO coated conductor and the BSCCO tape have been measured and compared. Magnetization losses of single tape, 2-stacked, 3-stacked and 4-stacked HTS tapes have been presented in this paper. Multi-stacked tapes have been fabricated using face-to-face type stacking method. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various angle of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of HTS tapes. Test results show that loss density per unit volume decreased for both YBCO coated conductors and BSCCO tapes when the stacking number of tapes is increased. The magnetization losses of YBCO CC are larger than those of BSCCO tapes when the external magnetic field is increased.

YBCO coated conductors (CC) on the $CeO_2$-buffered IBAD-MgO template were fabricated by metal-organic deposition (MOD) Process with Ba-trifluoroacetate and fluorine-free Y and Cu precursor materials. The precursor solution was coated on $CeO_2$-buffered IBAD MgO templates using the multiple dip-coating method, decomposed into inorganic precursors by pyrolysis up to $400^{\circ}C$ within 3 h, and finally fired at $740{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ in a reduced oxygen atmosphere. Microstructure, texture, and superconducting properties of YBCO films were found highly sensitive to both the firing temperature and time. The high critical current density ($J_C$) of $1.15\;MA/cm^2$ at 77.3K in the self-field could be obtained from $1\;{\mu}m$ thick YBCO CC, fired at $740^{\circ}C$ for 3.5 h, implying that high performance YBCO CC is producible on IBAD MgO template. Further enhancement of $J_C$ values is expected by improving the in-plane texture of $CeO_2$-buffer layer and avoiding the metal substrate contamination.

There are two major approaches to obtain texture template for HTS coated conductor (CC) ---IBAD and RABiTS. CC's with IBAD template showed both longer and higher Ic results so far. IBAD for CC began with YSZ, the processing of which is very slow compared to other processings needed for the fabrication of CC. Because of this very slow processing speed, IBAD with other materials such as Gd$_2$Zr$_2$O$_{7}$(GZO) and MgO have been developed. The processings of IBAD-GZO and IBAD-MgO are known to be up to 3times and 100 times. respectively, as fast as the processing of IBAD-YSZ. IBAD-MgO is very attractive in that the processing is very fast. IBAD-MgO also needs additional buffer layer(s). Many materials are being investigated to be used as a buffer layer on top of the MgO. BaZrO$_3$ (BZO) is a good candidate as the buffer layer on top of the IBAD-MgO because it is chemically stable and does not react with YBCO at high temperatures. It also has good lattice match with MgO. The BZO film has been deposited on single crystal MgO, and YBCO film was deposited on BZO/MgO to investigate the possibility of using BZO as both the buffer and capping layer of the CC.C.

Multi-stacked HTS tapes are needed to conduct large current in the power application. In this paper magnetization losses of the multi-stacked YBCO coated conductor and the BSCCO tape have been measured and compared. Magnetization losses of single tape, 2-stacked, 3-stacked and 4-stacked HTS tapes have been presented in this paper. Multi-stacked tapes have been fabricated using face-to-face type stacking method. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various stacked of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of HTS tapes. Test results show that loss density per unit volume decreased for both YBCO coated conductors and BSCCO tapes when the stacking number of tapes is increased. As the external magnetic field decreased, the ratio of decrement has risen because the full penetration magnetic field(Bp) of the multi-stacked tape is larger than that of the single tape.

본 논문에서는 YBCO coated conductor(CC) 의 접합연구와 접합된 선재의 응용을 위한 특성연구를 수행하였다. 최근에 지속적으로 연구 개발되어 본격적으로 응용이 시작되는 CC는 기본적으로 높은 인덱스 값과 자기장에 대한 임계전류의 균일성 등 다른 고온초전도에 비해 좋은 특성을 갖고 있으며 따라서 미래의 초전도 기기에 광범위하게 사용될 것으로 예상된다. CC와 같은 초전도 선재가 초전도 기기에 적용되는 경우 대부분 초전도 선재와 초전도 사이의 접합, 초전도 선재와 상전도체 사이의 접합 등의 접합들이 존재하게 된다. 접합을 위해서는 접합 땜납이 들어가게 되고 이 부분에서 저항이 발생하게 되어 손실이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 손실은 저항이 '0'이어서 손실이 적다는 초전도기기의 장점을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 CC의 접합 특성을 연구 하는 것은 초전도 기기의 성능향상에 도움을 줄 수도 있는 요인이 될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 구리 안정화층, YBCO 층, 완충층과 기판층으로 이루어진 YBCO CC 선재를 이용하여 두 가지의 접합 방법을 이용하여 접합특성을 연구하였다.
