Rapid Prototyping and Resulting Design Change
BLUF (bottom line upfront) AEP design changed from 1x2 configuration to
2x1 configuration after extensive prototyping and testing following Readiness
Review Team (RRT) meeting
AEP initial design (1x2) completed in December 2009
RRT (January 2010) proposed additional investigations to reduce technical
risk
Large (about ½ scale) device built and tested at Lane Cove, Australia
Extensive modeling in advance of testing
Modeling focused on areas of uncertainty
Exhaustive testing completed (100‟s of tests)

Arcing Due to High Induced Voltage
But not everything worked as expected
35
Design Evaluation Leading to Change
Test results from Lane Cove clearly demonstrated that:
Proposed 1x2 device was not optimal
While feasible, it would not be implemented easily
Design was inherently unbalanced electromagnetically
Displayed large mechanical forces, high variable AC flux outside
device envelope, pronounced shielding effect, and high induced
voltages
36
Design Evaluation Leading to Change
1x2 design chosen originally for perceived manufacturing ease
Round cores with round coils on round formers in round tanks
“New” 2x1design places ½ electrical phases alongside each other
Previously tested at Powertech in July 2009
Test results suggested design should be more balanced
Shielding and induced voltage effects minimized
Modeling predicts improved performance
½ phases side-by-side cancel each other‟s effects
AC flux variations outside of device envelope reduced significantly

Testing at KEMA in Chalfont, PA in November 2010
Preliminary 2x1 design has been completed
Electrostatics are compatible with largest Zenergy production magnet

Importance of AC Losses
Fringing ac fields generate losses
in HTS dc coil
Losses must be characterized and
accommodated in thermal design
Estimates range from 10‟s to
100‟s of watts per coil
Need measurements instead of
calculations
Losses concentrated on coil
edge; not uniformly distributed
Stray ac field profiles in the dc coil

Dynamic resistance as a function of peak perpendicular field at different percentages of

Losses increase as Iop / Ic increases
Zenergy will optimize for wire cost vs. cryogenics cost
3x increase
in ac losses
50
Dynamic Resistance Measurements at
30 K to 50 K are Important
Using 77 K data, loss from dynamic
resistance is between 0.1 mW/m to 15
mW/m.
Operation of HTS coil at 30 to 50 K will
increase critical current, which will
increase the threshold current
Preliminary measurements on a 1G
wire have been done at 77 K on cryo-
cooled system and have confirmed this
observation

ORNL
