An equation for the quench propagation velocity valid for high field magnet use of REBCO coated conductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on a study of the thermophysical properties, we derived a practical formula for the normal zone propagation velocity appropriate for REBa2Cu3O7-x coated conductors in high magnetic fields. An analytical expression to evaluate the current sharing temperature as a function of the operating conditions is also proposed. The presented study has allowed us to account for experimental results not fully understood in the framework of the models widely used in the literature. In particular, we provided a fundamental understanding of the experimental evidence that the normal zone propagation velocity in REBa2Cu3O7-x coated conductors can be mainly determined by the operating current, regardless of the applied field

Scientific Report Transverse Thermal Conductivity of REBCO Coated Conductors
REBCO coated conductors (CCs) have the potential to widen considerably the application areas of superconductivity. Quench protection of REBCO-based devices represents one of the major obstacles to this expansion. Thermal conductivity data are mandatory ingredients for quench simulation studies. In particular, the transverse thermal conductivity (kT) of the CC plays a key role in case of quenche...
متن کاملNear-adiabatic quench experiments on short YBa2Cu3O7− coated conductors
Minimum quench energy and normal zone propagation velocity are measured on short YBa2Cu3O7− coated conductors in self-field at temperatures ranging from 40 to 77 K. The sample is cooled via a cryocooler with a cryostat pressure of 10−4 Pa, creating a nearly adiabatic environment. A normal zone is created by pulsing a heater that is attached to the sample surface with a thin layer of alumina-fil...

A RE(rare earth)Ba2Cu3Ox (REBCO) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil is a promising candidate to achieve a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) magnet operated at a magnetic field >23.5 Tesla (T), i.e. 1 H NMR frequency of 1 GHz. We developed and tested a 400 MHz (9.39 T) NMR magnet using an REBCO inner coil. The system included a low-temperature superconducting (LTS) shim coil inside the R...
متن کاملField and temperature scaling of the critical current density in commercial REBCO coated conductors
Scaling relations describing the electromagnetic behaviour of coated conductors (CCs) greatly simplify the design of REBCO-based devices. The performance of REBCO CCs is strongly influenced by fabrication route, conductor architecture and materials, and these parameters vary from one manufacturer to the others. In the present work we have examined the critical surface for the current density, J...

Work has been conducted to develop REBCO (Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide) magnets for Maglev. REBCO is one of several high temperature superconducting materials and has a high current density at high temperatures and in high magnetic field environments. The REBCO coated conductor will make it possible to raise the operating temperature of on-board magnets without increasing the coil weight. Sin...
