The construction of European demonstration power plant (DEMO) aims to employ high temperature superconductors (HTS) as the main magnets to avoid the requirement of large amounts of helium for the cooling system. The central solenoid coils which is transported with AC current in the reactor should be ensured of their operation condition to avoid quench phenomenon under a high temperature...

Recently, the development of the concept project of the high magnetic field (HMF) tokamak continues in the Russian Federation. The value of the magnetic field on the plasma axis in the device is about 8 T. The maximum field on the winding of the toroidal field coils is about 16 T. The generation of a high magnetic field in a limited space of tokamak-type device with a given aspect...

Compared to low temperature superconductor (LTS) based fusion conductors, the use of high temperature superconductors (HTS) offers the possibility to increase the magnetic field strength in future fusion reactors, allowing higher flux swing or even more compact fusion reactors. REBCO, the most promising HTS material, is commercially available as coated conductor tape. Opposed to LTS wires,...

Nuclear fusion, regarded as a promising and infinite energy resource, is under rapid development. Associated with multiple essential advantages, such as carbon free, low land use, unlimited fuel and very low manageable waste, a number of high quality and multinational fusion projects are under construction. Tokamak, as an essential device for plasma confinement, is a key focus investigated...

Over the past decade High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) have gained interest for use in large scale coils for fusion applications. It is necessary to use a cable consisting of multiple parallel tapes in order to reduce the coil's inductance and to mitigate point defects. In many fusion and also non-fusion cable concepts the tapes are often transposed to reduce AC-losses. However, it has...

High temperature superconductor (HTS) technology has been widely studied for various superconducting devices due to the capability of high magnetic field generation and its relatively strong strain resistance. Fusion magnet engineers also have made efforts to employ the HTS technology to their magnets, especially focused on the development of HTS cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) such as...

Tokamak is a feasible device to keep the fusion reaction by magnetic confinement method. The high DC current is loaded on toroidal field (TF) magnets to generate high field for plasma confinement. However, this load may also bring heat loss for normal conductor and the risk of melting. High temperature superconductor has great potential for TF magnets due to its zero resistance and high...
