Advancement in both superconducting technologies and power electronics led to High Temperature Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES) having some excellent performances for use in power systems, such as rapid response (millisecond), high power (multi-MW), high efficiency, and four- quadrant control. This paper provides a review on SMES applications to power systems.

This paper described a novel design of a hybrid fuel cell and energy storage system using high temperature superconducting energy storage system (HT-SMES) or batteries to meet fast changing load. The power electronic switches in the converter of the energy storage system are controlled in such a way that the amplitude and waveform of the inverter output current from the fuel cell is tightly regulated to follow a sinusoidal reference waveform. In this way, the energy storage system is used to supply the fast changing part of the load and the fuel cell system continuously supplies a constant full load …

Recent international activity in the field of high voltage Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) has intensified since the North American blackout of 2003. A number of national and international peak body groups in the USA, Europe and Japan have been established to assess the need for FCLs and the issues associated with their design, specification, operation, protection and integration into the electricity grids. This paper details the development of a prototype 3-phase saturated core High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) FCL in Australia. Through experimental analysis, the performance of this device is characterised in terms of DC saturation, steady state performance, and fault …

The occurrence of fault currents and system sensitivity to fault currents are both increasing in modern power systems. Along with extensive damage to network hardware, considerable consumer losses (due to network unavailability) can result from fault current events. One device that is designed to reduce the impact of fault currents and increase network availability is the fault current limiter (FCL). This paper describes the design and development of a 3-phase saturated core high temperature superconducting (HTS) FCL. This particular type of FCL exhibits negligible power losses during the un-faulted state and also provides instantaneous reaction and recovery during fault events. …

MgB2/Fe wire samples were prepared by using ball-milled 96% boron (B) powder with strong semi-crystalline phase. We observed samples that contained ball-milled 96% B in comparison with one made from as-supplied commercial 96% B, with the results showing a significant enhancement in the high field transport critical current density (Jct) due to small grain size and better reactivity. However, the inter-grain connectivity became worse, which could lead to poor Jct in low field and an increased level of disorder.

In this work we report on interlayer spin-polarized transport studies carried out on YBa2Cu3O7-δ/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3/YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin film multilayers. Anisotropic YBa2Cu3O7-δ high-temperature superconductors (YBCO) and the manganite La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) are layered metallic systems where the c-axis interlayer current transport occurs via sequential tunneling of charge carriers. The temperature dependence of the resistance R(T) for different applied fields shows that these heterostructures are clearly influenced by both the insulator-to-metal …

Systematic dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on RuSr2Eu1.5Ce0.5Cu2O10−δ (Ru1222) demonstrate a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition around 95 K. The third harmonic of the ac susceptibility reveals that the system undergoes a spin glass transition below 75 K. The features of the zero-field cooled and field cooled dc magnetization curves of Ru1222 material resemble those of a cluster glass state, rather than those of a canonical spin glass state. The magnetization versus applied field loops do not saturate, even at very high applied fields, resulting in the short range …

Thermomagnetic instability in general, and dendritic flux avalanches in particular, have attracted considerable attention of both scientists and engineers working on superconductor applications. Though being harmful for the performance of many superconducting devices, the avalanches provide a fruitful playground for experimental and theoretical studies of complex dynamics of the vortex matter. In this paper we report on the progress in understanding the mechanisms responsible for the development of the giant magnetic avalanches. We review recent results on magneto-optical imaging of the fingering instability in superconducting films and analyze them on the basis of recent theoretical model that establishes criteria for …

We have studied Ni-substitution effect in LaFe1−xNixAsO (0≤x≤0.1) by the measurements of x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity. The nickel doping drastically suppresses the resistivity anomaly associated with spin-density-wave ordering in the parent compound. Superconductivity emerges in a narrow region of 0.03≤x≤0.06 with the maximum Tc of 6.5 K at x=0.04, where enhanced magnetic susceptibility shows up. The upper critical field at zero temperature is estimated to exceed the Pauli paramagnetic limit. The much lowered Tc in comparison with LaFeAsO1−xFx system is discussed.
