“…A lot of works have been carried out over past decade to develop long-length HTS REB 2 C 3 O 7Àd (REBCO; RE = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Ho, etc.) CCs carried high transport current [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. HTS-CCs are attracting much attention for practical applications of superconducting electrical and magnetic devices that can operate in liquid nitrogen temperature.…”

“…Moreover, in the last few years, compared with first generation (1G) HTS wires, such as Bi2212 and Bi2223, second generation (2G) HTS wires, namely YBCO superconducting coated conductors, are becoming more and more attractive for current lead applications due to their high critical current density, low dependency of critical current I c on the external magnetic field, low AC transport current loss, good mechanical properties, and reasonable cost [5][6][7][8]. If only taking thermal conductivity into consideration, Bi-2223 seems better than YBCO [9].…”

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) rotating machines always require an electric current of from several hundreds to several thousand amperes to be led from outside into cold region of the field coil. Heat losses through the current leads then assume tremendous importance. Consequently, it is necessary to acquire optimal design for the leads which would achieve minimum heat loss during operation of machines for a given electrical current. In this paper, conduction cooled current lead type of 10 MW-Class HTS rotating machine will be chosen, a conceptual design will be discussed and performed relied on the least heat lost estimation between conventional metal lead and partially HTS lead. In addition, steady-state thermal characteristic of each one also is considered and illustrated.

“…Due to the high raw material price because of the high share of silver required in the metal matrix, clearly better chances for a commercial breakthrough are attached to the second generation of HTS-wires. First wires are already available, however, the complex manufacturing processes still require high development expenditure as regards to the improvement of the properties on the one hand and the process stabilisation and scaling on the other [27,28].…”

Abstract. More than 20 years after the discovery of hightemperature-superconductors (HTS) first applications in the energy sector are now becoming commercially attractive. Whereas still high end applications of low-temperaturesuperconductors (LTS) like NMR or MRI systems are the major drivers for industrial production, HTS based systems promise broader use in energy technology over the next few years. Due to their superior performance HTS materials enable more compact and lighter electric devices as well as an unbeatable improvement in energy efficiency. Moreover new devices like fault current limiters (FCL) are under development and field tests exhibit so far unknown properties for future electric grid design. Prototypes and first commercial systems like cables, generators, motors, FCL were successfully commissioned in the last few years. Based on these test results HTS systems will contribute significantly to the future key challenges in energy technology by reducing CO 2 -emmission due to their outstanding efficiency and to the security of energy supply.
