Abstract
This paper describes design specifications and performance of a toroid-type high-temperature superconducting (HTS) DC reactor. The first phase operation targets of the HTS DC reactor were 400Â mH and 400Â A. The authors have developed a real HTS DC reactor system during the last three years. The HTS DC reactor was designed using 2G GdBCO HTS wires. The HTS coils of the toroid-type DC reactor magnet were made in the form of a D-shape. The electromagnetic performance of the toroid-type HTS DC reactor magnet was analyzed using the finite element method program. A conduction cooling method was adopted for reactor magnet cooling. The total system has been successfully developed and tested in connection with LCC type HVDC system. Now, the authors are studying a 400Â mH, kA class toroid-type HTS DC reactor for the next phase research. The 1500Â A class DC reactor system was designed using layered 13Â mm GdBCO 2G HTS wire. The expected operating temperature is under 30Â K. These fundamental data obtained through both works will usefully be applied to design a real toroid-type HTS DC reactor for grid application.
