In this paper we present the new development of our second hybrid energy transfer line with 30 m length. The flexible 30 m hydrogen cryostat has three sections with different types of thermal insulation in each section: simple vacuum superinsulation, vacuum superinsulation with liquid nitrogen shield and active evaporating cryostatting (AEC) system. We performed thermo-hydraulic tests of the cryostat to compare three thermo-insulating methods. The tests were performed at temperatures from 20 to 26 K, hydrogen flow from 100 to 450 g/s and pressure from 0.25 to 0.5 MPa. It was found that AEC thermal insulation practically eliminated completely heat transfer from room temperature to liquid hydrogen in the 10 m section. AEC thermal insulation method can be used for long superconducting power cables. High voltage current leads were developed as well....

In the framework of the Program, a special test facility has been developed permitting to test different HTS electrical power devices at voltages up to 110 kV and currents up to 3000 A (rms) under full load. In this paper, we overview the whole program and present some details of the cable development and tests.

Such a design permits to save expensive HTS conductor and to increase the power density transmitted. It is difficult to increase the transmission capacity of a triaxial cable by increasing its operating voltage and therefore, insulation thickness between phases. The other way is to increase the operation current by using a multilayer structure in each phase of the triaxial cable. This task demands a complicated optimization analysis and a precise manufacturing technology. Following our previous studies, we developed and tested the triaxial cable prototype with two layers per phase made of ReBCO wire. The optimal parameters of the cable (twist pitch, diameters of phases, etc.) have been determined using the numerical simulation methods developed. DC and AC tests of the cable has been performed. In the result...

It is important to evaluate transport current AC losses and possible methods to reduce them in a winding. In a device made of 2G HTS tapes, the main the AC losses are the hysteresis ones. Only numerical simulation permits to predict them in full. The FEM model for calculation of the hysteresis losses developed before for 2G HTS power cables was modified for a stack of the 2G HTS tapes in a coil. In this paper the methods to increase a computational speed are presented. Possible ways to reduce AC losses are discussed also. The details of the model and comparisons of calculations with measurements of the AC loss are presented.
