Tepelná stabilita supravodivých cievok a filamentovaných REBCO pások
Thermal stability of superconducting coils and filamentized REBCO tapes
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Mgr. Seiler Eugen, PhD
Annotation: The project investigates electro-thermal stability of filamentized superconducting REBCO tapes andsuperconducting coils at transporting the electric current. The goal is to develop theoretical models and numericalmethods allowing to determine the maximum transport current that can flow through a superconducting coil orthrough a filamentized tape without the risk of a rapid local heating. Characterization of tapes and coils will bebased on the standard measurement methods as well as on specially designed experiments, which will allow toincorporate the real parameters of available superconducting tapes into the models. In order to experimentallyverify the theoretical models of thermal stability of superconducting coils, specific model coils will be built,equipped with multiple voltage and temperature sensors for detailed monitoring of the electro-thermal stability.The outcomes of the theoretical models will subsequently be applied at manufacturing bigger coils, relevant forrealistic electric devices.
