The Broader Approach agreement between Europe and Japan includes the construction of a fully superconducting tokamak, the JT-60 Super Advanced (JT-60SA), as a satellite experiment to ITER. In particular, the whole Toroidal Field magnet system, described in this paper, will be provided to Japan by the EU. All the TF coil main constituents, i.e. conductor, winding pack, joints, casing, current leads, are here presented and discussed as well as the design criteria adopted to fulfil the machine requirements. The results of the analyses performed by the EU and JA to define and assess the TF magnet system conceptual design are reported and commented. Future work plan is also discussed.

Since 2003, three years of the current 5-year national project for development of coated conductors using Y-system superconductors have passed and remarkable results have been achieved. In this paper, the current status and future prospects are reviewed. The group of Fujikura and SRL has worked on a long tape with high performance in the PLD-YBCO supercon- ducting tapes on the IBAD-GZO buffered substrates. The highest Ic × L value of the tape is over 50 k Am which is 212 m in length and 245 A of critical current (Ic). Additionally, a 500 m long IBAD-buffered tape with a reasonable in-plane texture was produced using a large scale IBAD apparatus by Fujikura. In the other group, long tape processing has been developed focusing on lowering production cost. An extremely high Ic value of 692 A was obtained in a short sample by the advanced TFA-MOD method on a CeO2 (PLD)/GZO(IBAD)/Hastelloy substrate. In the efforts for the long tape processing, a 25 m long tape with the Ic value of 100 A by a continuous reel-to-reel system and a 40 m long tape with 155 A by a batch system were realized. 100 m class long tapes were also obtained with the MOCVD and PLD-HoBCO processes. Both groups are aiming for 500 m long tapes with the high Ic value of 300 A/cm-w with a production rate of 5 m/h. Furthermore, feasibility studies for applications using coated conductors have already began due to the above mentioned success of long tape production. Several kinds of coils using the long coated conductors such as solenoid and pancake types and spiral shaped conductors for the cable were made. Reasonable high performance results were confirmed in the trials. New approaches on the preliminary studies for the applications of cables, transformers, motors and current limiters etc. are planned in this project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Development of the SMES using high temperature superconducting (HTS) coil has progressed as a Japanese national project since FY 2004. The objective of the project is to obtain around twice the normal energy density via an HTS-LTS ‘hybrid’ coil system compared to an LTS coil system. The HTS coil is composed of sixteen double-pancake coils and the double-pancake coil is wound with a Bi2212 Rutherford-type cable. The HTS coil is operated at 4.2 K in liquid helium bath with the LTS coil, and operated at maximum field of 8.9 T. Before we made a hybrid coil system, we verified the design issues using HTS experimental coils. In this paper mechanical compression tests, DC operation tests and thermal runaway tests using the experimental coils are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

R&D of fundamental technologies for superconducting AC Power equipment (Super-ACE project) started as a national project, for a five-year plan since fiscal 2000 by MIT and NEDO. This project is to research and develop the basic technology of super-conductive cable, fault current limiter and transformer. This paper summarizes the research and development of following 2 types FCL. The R&D of the SN transition resistive type superconducting thin film fault current limiter aims to establish large-current/high-voltage technology by arranging films in multi-parallel/series, and increasing the current-carrying capacity through widening the area of the thin film of the current limiting element. The R&D of the reactor for a rectifier-type fault current limiter using coils of superconducting wire of the Ag sheath Bi2223 tape, aiming to apply it to high-voltage systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
