| Cost effective FCL using advanced superconducting tapes for future HVDC grids | |
| Program: | Horizon 2020 |
| Project leader: | doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Sustainability of energy systems goes through high penetration of renewable energy with huge volumes of electricity to transmit over long distances. The most advanced solution is the HVDC Supergrid. But fault currents remain an issue even if DC circuit breakers have emerged. These are not satisfying, whereas Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SCFCLs) using REBCO tapes bring an attractive solution. SCFCLs have already proved their outstanding performances in MVAC systems, with a few commercial devices in service. However, present REBCO conductors cannot be readily used at very high voltages: the electrical field under current limitation is too low and leads to too long tapes and high cost. FASTGRID aims to improve and modify the REBCO conductor, in particular its shunt, in order to significantly enhance (2 to 3 times) the electric field and so the economical SCFCL attractiveness. A commercial tape will be upgraded to reach a higher critical current and enhanced homogeneity as compared to today’s standards. For safer and better operation, the tape’s normal zone propagation velocity will be increased by at least a factor of 10 using the patented current flow diverter concept. The shunt surface will also be functionalized to boost the thermal exchanges with coolant. This advanced conductor will be used in a smart DC SCFCL module (1 kA, 50 kV). This one will include new functionalities and will be designed as sub-element of a real VDC device. In parallel to this main line of work, developments will be carried out on a promising breakthrough path: ultra high electric field tapes based on sapphire substrates. FASTGRID will bring this to the next levels of technology readiness. In conclusion, FASTGRID project aims at improving significantly existing REBCO conductor architecture to make SCFCLs economically attractive for HVDC Supergrids. However, availability of such an advanced conductor will have an impact on virtually all other applications of HTS tapes. |

| Annotation: | The project will focus on the most promising superconducting materials, preparation techniques, applications and cryogenic developments for the envisaged power application systems. Therefore, the materials research topics will be restricted to RE123 coated conductors, RE123 bulk material and MgB2 wires and tapes. There, improving the critical current density as the central figure of merit of superconducting materials for power applications requires the controlled incorporation of a high density of nano-scale defects into an undisturbed crystalline matrix. The electrical engineering issues under consideration will concentrate on reducing ac-losses in superconducting wires and tapes by innovative conductor designs with micrometer scaled structures in the superconductor, which can only be realized by means of material processing in the nanometer scale. The industrial aspects are focused on scale-up the material preparation and the realization of superconducting cables, motors, magnets and the cryogenics involved. |

| SUPENKA – Supravodivé energetické káble | |
| Superconducting energy cables | |
| Program: | Plán obnovy EÚ |
| Project leader: | doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The SUPENKA project follows up the European SCARLET project, the aim of which is to develop a superconducting cable for direct current at medium voltage level of 25-50 kV, which results in the removal of the converter platform (around 10,000 tons of material). Such a solution can be advantageously used, for example, in transmission from a wind turbine farm, where direct current can be directly obtained in the turbine structure at the medium voltage level (25 to 100 kV).The proposed SUPENKA project aims to develop in more detail some aspects of the problem solved in the SCARLET project. In the scientific field, there are two main goals: • C1: Development of a methodology for including the inhomogeneity of superconducting properties in the analysis of the stability of current transmission by a superconducting cable • C2: Verification of the possibilities of cooling superconducting cables with non-traditional cooling media. The basic verification of the methodology on short samples has already taken place, therefore the starting level of the SUPENKA project is in the range of TRL 3-4, and the intention is to reach the level of TRL 5.The SUPENKA project will contribute to the fulfillment of the ambitious climate goals of the EC work program "Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply" aimed at transforming the energy system and shifting energy supply towards climate neutrality within two areas of influence: • Leading position of European industry in key and new technologies for benefit of people • Affordable and clean energy |

| TREND – Optimalizácia okrúhleho kábla z vysokoteplotného supravodiča pre pulzné magnetické polia | |
| Optimization of round high-temperature supercnoducting cable for pulse magnetic field | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The project is focused on an optimization of a cable made of high temperature superconducting tapes wound on acore in form of a tube with the possibility of cooling the cable by the coolant flowing through the former. Thepurpose of the optimization is a significant decrease of AC losses, which can be achieved through threemodifications of the cable. The first one is to reduce the width of the 4 mm superconducting tape down to 1 mmwith steps smaller than 0.2 mm. The tuning of the tape width should allow to prepare the cables with optimalpacking of the cable layers and with greater flexibility. The second modification is an additional narrowing of thesuperconductor width by striation scribing the superconducting layer along the tape with already optimized width.Both processes require a development of a suitable method for the cutting and scribing process of thesuperconducting tapes with minimal impact on their mechanical, structural and electrical properties. The thirdmodification is the innovation of the central former, which should fulfill requirement of significantly reduced electricalconductivity. Modified superconducting tapes and cables prepared from them will be characterized in terms ofmechanical and electromagnetic properties. Most of the experiments will be supported by computer modeling. |

| Thermal stabilization of high-temperature superconducting tapes for fault current limiters | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Additional thermal stabilization is necessary for commercially available high-temperature superconducting tapes,in order to use the tapes in devices for fault current limiting in high-voltage grids. The proposed project is aimed atfabrication of thermally stabilizing composite coating (epoxy resin with ceramic filler), which will act as a sink andabsorber of the heat produced in a limiting event. Various materials for thermal stabilization will be tested, withregard to their thermal, physical, and mechanical properties, and their resistance against thermal shocks.Possibilities for improvement of mechanical properties will be investigated by additional reinforcement of thethermal stabilization. The effectivity of the thermal stabilization will be determined for superconducting tapes fromvarious producers, by experimental limiting of fault current. Experiments will be complemented with numericalmodelling. |

| Low-loss superconducting CORC-like cable from REBCO conductors | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Seiler Eugen, PhD |
| Annotation: | Aim of the project is to elaborate the design of a superconducting CORC-like cable with considerably reduced AClosses. Project is focused on identification of the key parameters of the cable design, on the construction of modelcables and their experimental characterisation. The research will follow two basic directions: optimisation ofgeometrical layout of the individual REBCO tapes in the cable and investigation of possible utilisation of lowconductivity materials for the central core of the cable. Geometrical optimisation of the cable will be based onresults of numerical simulations employing the Finite Element Method and the Minimum Electro-Magnetic EntropyProduction method. In the experimental part, sets of short model cables will be manufactured for tests of differentgeometrical configurations and different materials for the central core. Investigated will be the total AC losses,basic transport parameters and degradation of superconducting tapes due to mechanical loading in the cablingprocess. |

| High temperature superconducting coils in motors for electric and hybrid aircrafts | |

| Project leader: | Mgr. Pardo Enric, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Full superconducting electric motors are very promising to provide therequired power density to enablecommercial hybrid and electric airplanes. These can reduce emissions by75 % in CO2 and 90 % in NOx, followingthe ACARE Flightpath 2050 targets of the European Union. Superconductingmotors can also be applied to cleanersea or sweet water transport. In spite of the extensive research in thearea, the electro-magnetic and electro-thermal properties of superconducting coils in the motor magneticenvironment remain largely unknown, partiallybecause of the lack of measurements of the relevant temperatures(between 20-40 K) and modeling methods forfull superconducting motors.The aim of this project is to gain this understanding and develop numerical modeling methods to enable the design of future superconducting motors. These methods will be compared to experiments in the relevant temperature range for motor applications. |

| MAPKO – Magnetické plášte z kompozitov supravodič/feromagnetikum | |
| Magnetic cloaks from superconductor/ferromagnet composites | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Realization of a magnetic cloak allowing to hide objects from being observed by a magnetic detector enables the experimental study of several fundamental problems of electromagnetism as well as the searching for innovative solutions of practical problems of magnetic field shielding and shaping. Main aim of the project is the development of methods for design and realization of magnetic cloaks that would provide the possibility to investigate these topics. Basic property we will pursue is the magnetic invisibility when a detector placed outside the cloak will not notice the cloak itself nor a “magnetic cargo” it would contain. Theoretical predictions for reaching perfect invisibility assume unrealistic properties of the used materials and work with ideal and simple shapes without any limitation of dimensions. That is why an important part of the project will be the search and testing of new numerical modelling methods able to include these substantial aspects of real objects. With help of these novel methods we plan to demonstrate the 99% perfection in magnetic invisibility at frequencies from DC to 1000 Hz. Our research could help to reach the following goals: a) Creation of space for experiments in biology shielding the Earth magnetic field as well as that produced in urban environment. Room temperature cylindrical space with at least 50 mm diameter and 150 mm height should allow easy sample exchange and manipulation. b) Design and manufacturing of the cloak for magnetic fields in the 0.1 T range with the volume exceeding 1000 cm3 for the purpose of protecting a sensitive electronic circuitry or e.g. formation of working space for DC arc welding in vicinity of electrical machines generating the stray field at this level. c) Investigation of force exerted on the cloak by a non-uniform magnetic field, in particular the possibility of a magnetic propulsion with help of controlling the magnetic moment of the superconductor/ferromagnet composite. |
