REBCO coated conductors (REBCO-CC) have attractive features such as high {\it I}_{c} performances even in the magnetic fields. As the applications which can effectively use the features, “electric propulsion transportation” is considered to be strong candidate. In the system, several superconducting devices can be applied such as “Generator”, “Motor” and “Cable”. If all superconducting...
As high-temperature superconductors – in particular REBCO-based coated conductors – begin to find their way into mainstream applications and application prototypes, intended to compete on economic terms with conventional technologies, the need for targeted characterization of the as-yet immature, varied and constantly evolving wire component becomes increasingly important. In this talk, on...
Superconducting cable is expected to be a device to go in a market in near future. As for the applications meet the needs and cost point of view, we selected a high capacity bus connecting between a generator and a step-up transformer in power plant, where an isolated phase bus (IPB) is used for the conventional technology. 2015, we designed a HTS superconducting bus with rated 22kV and 10kA....
In 2011 the European Commission presented a report in which Europe’s vision for the aviation sector in 2050 is manifested. [1] Amongst others, “Flightpath 2050” set goals for the reduction of the carbon footprint of the aviation sector. Compared to the capabilities of typical new aircraft in the year 2000 CO2 and NOx emissions per passenger kilometer shall be reduced by 75% and 90%,...
Next generation electric power systems require higher capacity, efficiency, and stability to meet the demands of increasingly complicated grid systems. High-temperature superconductors (HTS) provide unique solutions to stringent operating requirements, including the ability to protect electric power apparatus and systems from large currents that can develop during a fault. The extensive...
