Future fusion devices must leverage the advantages of high temperature superconductors. To meet this challenge, a novel Rutherford-type cable winding of superconducting (REBCO) tape stacks has been proposed. This cable, known as the Flat Round-Edge Former Tape Cable (FReTC) is comprised of several multi-tape subcables wrapped around a flat, round-edge former. As part of enabling the use of...
High temperature superconductors incarnates the future of magnet technologies. Their ability to transport higher current within higher magnetic field compared to LTS make them the perfect contender toward compact high field magnets for TOKAMAKS. This possibility would increase drastically their performances and therefore possibly clearing a path to clean and sustainable energy. Modern TOKAMAKS...
REBCO coated conductor, the second-generation high-temperature superconducting (HTS) material, is one of the most promising materials for application in future fusion reactor high-field magnets due to its high critical current density and excellent mechanical properties. The Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) is conducting the research and development activities...
Bi-2223 high temperature superconducting (HTS) tape has shown high mechanical stability and current capacity, which could be a potential material of cable-in-conduit-conductor (CICC) design and manufacture for fusion magnets. During winding process of magnet coil, bending strain is induced which cause the current capacity degradation. Thus, the bending performance of CICC cable is needed to be...
High magnetic fields of up to 20 T in tokamak-type fusion devices, such as in Central Solenoids of European DEMO and the Chinese BEST fusion reactors, require High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) and a promising candidate is ReBCO tape. The large Lorentz forces occurring under these operating conditions may locally generate very high values of mechanical stress, which can irreversibly...
