Influence of twist pitch on hysteretic losses and transport J c in overpressure processed high J c Bi-2212 round wires

Abstract Bi-2212 is the only high field, high-temperature superconductor (HTS) available in the macroscopically isotropic, multifilament high J c round wire (RW) form capable of generating high uniformity fields with minimum-screening current errors. However, the heat treatment that enables impressively high J c (4.2 K, 30 T) values that can attain ∼5000 A mm −2 also produces significant filament bonding (bridging). Filament bridging appears to significantly enhance hysteretic losses of the filaments themselves by coupling neighboring, nominally independent filaments, enabling shielding currents to flow across multiple filaments as though they were one filament of much larger diameter. Wire twisting can be employed to reduce filament-to-filament eddy current coupling losses due to induced currents flowing across the matrix, but twisting is less effective in reducing increased losses from bridging. Here, we compare the twist-pitch dependence of the losses of overpressure processed (OP) high J c Bi-2212 RWs with partially bridged filaments to those found in OP Bi-2212 RWs with discrete, not-bridged filaments. We show that filament sub-bundles in standard, partially-bridged wires that have some superconducting connections between filaments can exhibit significant coupling (much larger effective filament diameter), but twisting still reduces their hysteretic losses to values close to or below the ITER Nb 3 Sn wire loss specification, even though Bi-2212 wires have significantly larger J c values. Although it has been reported that twisting can reduce wire J c by damaging filaments, we found no reduction in transport J c , even for nominal twist pitches of 12 mm in 0.8 mm diameter wires. Evaluation of more-recent, higher J c Engi-Mat powder wires showed that their reduced filament bridging and improved longitudinal connectivity significantly improved transport J c and reduced the J c normalized losses, signaling that J c can be further improved without commensurate increase in losses. This important result strengthens the argument for production of high field, low loss HTS magnets made with Bi-2212 RWs.

Test Results of Fast Decaying Current-Induced AC Losses in SHMS Superconducting Magnets at Jefferson Lab

The 11 GeV Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS) of Hall C, part of the recent 12 GeV accelerator Upgrade at Jefferson Lab, was successfully commissioned in 2017. Fast current discharges of the SHMS Q2, Q3 quadrupoles and dipole superconducting magnets experienced some level of operational difficulty, during commissioning and normal operation. Measurements and analyses demonstrate that the fast current discharge leads to substantial AC losses in the conductor and subsequently triggers a quench-back effect. The details of the measurements and analyses have been reported previously. This paper focuses on the test results of the magnets using a reduced value of the protection dump resistor for each magnet to lower the current decay rate. Finally, the test results confirmed that the reduced dump resistances eliminated the quench-back effect for the SHMS Q2, Q3 and Dipole magnets, thus improving their cryogenic operability.

Laminated Permanent Magnets Enable Compact Magnetic Components in Current-Source Converters

Magnetic components have become one of the primary barriers to high power density converters, especially to current-source converters (CSCs). In CSCs, the inductors/transformers have a predominantly dc flux to store energy, which can be offset by standard permanent magnets (PMs). However, eddy currents in standard PMs induce significant losses and thermal stress for medium-frequency applications. This article proposes using laminated PMs to offset the dc flux while reducing eddy currents, leading to significant reductions in the size, cost, and losses of inductors/transformers. Furthermore, the laminated PMs’ optimal location, orientation, and distribution are investigated to generalize this approach for maximum benefits. Here, three-dimensional finite-element analysis simulation and hardware experiments are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in a medium-frequency transformer (MFT) for CSCs. Compared with standard PMs, the proposed use of laminated PMs reduces aggregate core-plus-PM losses by 85% in experiments, and thus, relaxes the MFT thermal design. Finally, the proposed approach is experimentally validated in a 40 kVA flyback-type MFT for a soft-switching solid-state transformer. Compared to the traditional design without any PMs, the proposed design increases the saturation current by 46% while inducing only 5% more losses, leading to significant savings in magnetics cost and size.

Laminated Permanent Magnets Enable Compact Magnetic Components in Current Source Converters

Magnetic components play a key role in determining the size, cost, efficiency of a power converter. They are more significant in current source converters, where the dc-link energy is stored in an inductor/transformer. In such cases, the magnetics have a predominantly DC flux, superimposed by an AC flux at switching frequency. Previously, permanent magnets have been proposed to offset the DC flux and thereby reduce the size, cost, and losses of the inductors/transformers. This paper starts by analyzing the issue of eddy currents when using such standard permanent magnets, especially in medium frequency applications, making them practically unusable. Alternatively, the paper proposes the use of laminated permanent magnets to reduce these eddy currents and thereby realize the benefits of offsetting the DC flux to reduce the size, cost, and loss of inductors/transformers. Using a soft-switching solid-state transformer as an example, experimental results are presented to show the impact of eddy currents in standard permanent magnets when used with a medium frequency transformer. Here, experimental results showing the benefits of using laminated magnets in reducing the eddy currents are presented.

Additive manufacturing of amorphous metal soft magnetic composites

Soft magnet alloys are used as magnetic cores for electric motors, transformers, wind turbines and other power generation systems. Soft magnetic cores are expensive and time consuming to manufacture in the complex shapes required for next-generation devices using conventional press and sinter powder metallurgy. The objective of this effort is to additively manufacture high performance soft magnets, with reduced cost and reduced material waste and 10x lower energy (core) loss at the high operating frequencies of many electric machines. Laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing is used as the fabrication method. Electrical steel and amorphous alloys atomized powders are used as a feedstock materials. Magnetic cores are printed in topology optimized structures such as the Hilbert curve because this has been shown to reduce energy losses by minimizing the eddy currents that circulate within the magnet at high frequencies. In our project, we succeed in printing FeSi 3.5wt% and FeSi 6.5wt% electrical steels, and iron-based soft magnetic amorphous alloys in the shape of Hilbert and Peano curve topology optimized structures. We found that the Peano curve has a higher cut-off frequency than the Hilbert curve, and that amorphous alloys have high cut-off frequencies and higher mechanical hardness than electrical steels. Processing conditions such as laser power, scan speed, and hatching pattern were optimized to achieve high density prints, and optimize magnetic performance. We find that the printing of amorphous alloy soft magnetic cores may be technoeconomically feasible for large scale applications such as transformers, for which supply chain issues and the labor costs of manual fabrication of magnetic cores is prohibitive in some cases.

Cabling method of superconducting flat wires

A structure and method provide cables of high-temperature superconducting flat tape and/or filament wires, with a small bending diameter. A cable has a former having cross section that includes a rectangle having rounded ends (i.e. an obround), and the flat tape is wound around the surface of the former at an angle to minimize bending. The former surface may have raised helical ribs or lowered grooves to provide tape registration in multi-layer configurations. Tape may be wound from a spool onto the former under tension, and cut with a laser cutter to produce fine filaments immediately before winding. The former may be slit longitudinally to prevent loop eddy currents and reduce AC losses. The wound cable may be jacketed to provide a cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC), and coolant channels may be provided in the jacket or in the former.

In Situ MOF Pyrolysis Construction of Hierarchical Porous Co‐Nanoparticles/Carbon Cloth Composites for Enhanced Electromagnetic Wave Shielding and Absorption

The development of high-performance electromagnetic protection materials integrating broadband absorption and effective shielding capabilities is hindered by challenges in simultaneously optimizing multiple electromagnetic properties through conventional material designs. This study pioneers a hierarchical porous Co nanoparticle/carbon cloth (Co/CC) composite via controlled annealing of a Co-MOF precursor on carbon cloth. The Co-MOF served a dual role as both magnetic source and pore-forming agent, enabling in situ generation of uniformly dispersed Co nanoparticles and creation of abundant pores/interfaces on the CC fibers during pyrolysis. This unique architecture synergistically enhanced dielectric loss (via interfacial/dipolar polarization) and magnetic loss (via natural resonance, exchange interactions, and eddy currents), significantly improving impedance matching. The hierarchical pores further functioned as integrated “absorption–reflection” units for efficient electromagnetic energy attenuation. Consequently, the Co/CC composite annealed at 800°C (Co/CC-800) achieves minimum reflection loss (−40.69 dB) and 120% effective absorption bandwidth extension (6.16 GHz) as a filler, and exhibits superior electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (46.66 dB) as an integrated component. Significantly, Co/CC-800 demonstrated robust photothermal and electrothermal conversion capabilities, ensuring operational stability in ice-covered and humid harsh environments. This work pioneers a pore-structure-mediated strategy to harmonize dielectric–magnetic synergy, providing a new paradigm for designing advanced multifunctional electromagnetic protection materials.

Non-contact based measurement of thin film coatings using eddy current measurements

When a time varying magnetic field attempts to penetrate a conductive surface, the surface will respond to that time varying field by the generation of circular currents around the flux lines. This effect is described by Faraday’s law of induction. An eddy current based measurement system attempts to discern the power loss incurred by these circulating currents within the conductive surface. The measurement system described here uses an Agilent E 4980A LCR meter to quantify the reaction of the film to the high frequency magnetic field lines which are forced into the film. The measurement metric is the meter’s interpretation of the power dissipation caused by the measured film. The meter is setup to use the Ls/Rs inductor model, and is run at 1 Mhz to bring the losses within the film as high as possible for sensitivity.

Modeling and Measuring the Stress Distribution in Soft Magnetic Cores due to Epoxy Impregnation and Curing

Understanding the effects of viscoelastic relaxation of stresses is critical in electric motor and inductor applications, where the magnetic material is fully or partially comprised of an amorphous phase and impregnated in an epoxy. Magnetic Amorphous Nanocomposites (MANCs) are a class of recently developed high-frequency magnetic materials that exhibit low magnetic hysteresis, high saturation flux density and very low AC magnetic losses. MANCs are formed as long, thin ribbons, a shape factor that minimizes eddy current-induced self-heating. This feature, in addition to their 1 GPa strength, and makes them attractive candidates for high-speed, high-power density, electric motors. MANCs are used in the form of tape-wound cores (TWCs). During the manufacturing process, the cores are impregnated with liquid epoxy between each layer of ribbon. Validated knowledge of the stresses imposed by the manufacturing process and during operation is necessary to understand motor performance limitations with respect to strength. Magnetostriction, the strain imposed by reversal of the magnetic field, also affects performance. When the epoxy cures, it contracts volumetrically by 8%, imposing radial and circumferential stresses that vary along the radial direction. To date, these stresses have received little attention in the literature. Here, we model the stress distribution throughout a TWC due to epoxy curing. Strain gauge measurements reported here indicate substantially lower tangential strain than model values, which is beneficial and which we attribute to viscoelastic relaxation of the epoxy layers. We will incorporate a constitutive model of this viscoelastic relaxation, and conduct more detailed strain measurements to understand how this takes

Status of Eddy Current Developments at INL

Both standard and advanced Light Water Reactor (LWR) fuel systems are composed of fuel pellets enclosed in a metallic cladding. The fuel cladding represents the first containment of the fission products and the first safety barrier. Upon progression of irradiation, the cladding properties deteriorate, mainly due to the pick-up of hydrogen, which causes embrittlement, and the consequence corrosion that reduced the metallic substrate. Those changes in the properties combined with the harsh environment, e.g., fatigue and fretting occurring during operation, might eventually lead to loss of hermeticity. Therefore, it is important to be able to quantify the amount of corrosion taking place and to detect and size structural discontinuity that can promote cladding failure. Eddy current testing is one of the non-destructive methods employed for this purpose. Inspections are carried out using special probes, which are designed and optimized to inspect a tube with well-defined geometrical and physical characteristics, i.e. external diameter, wall thickness, material electric conductivity and magnetic permeability. The inspection goals are mainly twofold: first, the determination of the amount of corrosion by measurement of the external oxide thickness; second, the detection of flaws in the tube wall, ether on the external or the internal surface of the tube. This report summarizes the available capabilities for eddy current testing of LWR fuel claddings, identifies needs and are of developments for testing of ATF claddings.

MHD stability and disruptions in the SPARC tokamak

SPARC is being designed to operate with a normalized beta of $β_N$ = 1.0, a normalized density of $n_G$ = 0.37 and a safety factor of $q_{95}$ ≈ 3.4, providing a comfortable margin to their respective disruption limits. Further, a low beta poloidal $β_p$ = 0.19 at the safety factor $\textit{q}$ = 2 surface reduces the drive for neoclassical tearing modes, which together with a frozen-in classically stable current profile might allow access to a robustly tearing-free operating space. Although the inherent stability is expected to reduce the frequency of disruptions, the disruption loading is comparable to and in some cases higher than that of ITER. The machine is being designed to withstand the predicted unmitigated axisymmetric halo current forces up to 50 MN and similarly large loads from eddy currents forced to flow poloidally in the vacuum vessel. Runaway electron (RE) simulations using GO+CODE show high flattop-to-RE current conversions in the absence of seed losses, although NIMROD modelling predicts losses of ~80 %; self-consistent modelling is ongoing. A passive RE mitigation coil designed to drive stochastic RE losses is being considered and COMSOL modelling predicts peak normalized fields at the plasma of order 10 –2 that rises linearly with a change in the plasma current. Massive material injection is planned to reduce the disruption loading. A data-driven approach to predict an oncoming disruption and trigger mitigation is discussed.

The influence of boundary and edge-plasma modeling in computations of axisymmetric vertical displacement

A number of previously published studies apply extended-MHD computations to model macroscopic dynamics of tokamak vertical displacement events (VDEs). The characteristic plasma-wall contact and resistive-wall diffusion imply sensitivity to boundary conditions in a general sense, but which conditions have significant influence depends on how the plasma is modeled. This work examines these dependencies by comparing results of axisymmetric extended-MHD computations with different sets of boundary conditions, plasma thermal-conduction models, and wall resistivity values. The geometry and plasma parameters of the computations represent a modest-sized tokamak. The forced-displacement scenario and computational setup are similar to those used in previous 3D computations. The results show that for a given wall resistivity, the VDE time-scale is most sensitive to variations in the boundary and thermal-conduction parameters that affect electron thermal transport. The electrical conductivity depends on electron temperature, and the dependence on thermal transport stems from its influence on the electrical circuit that includes the open-field halo current. Lastly, conditions that lead to hotter, broader halo regions slow the evolution. Significant sensitivity to the boundary condition on plasma flow-velocity exists when electron thermal conduction is restricted and electron energy loss is convective, which is expected for conditions at the entrance of the magnetic presheath.

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites

The present invention is directed to the syntheses of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and the incorporation of the nanoparticles as the magnetic component to form a strongly magnetic nanocomposite. The superparamagnetic nanoparticles possess no hysteresis and are too small to support eddy currents. The invention uses a ligand exchange procedure to produce aminated nanoparticles that are then cross-linked using epoxy chemistry. The result is a magnetic nanoparticle component that is covalently linked and well separated. By using this ‘matrix-free’ approach, it is possible to substantially increase the magnetic nanoparticle fraction, while still maintaining good separation, leading to a superparamagnetic nanocomposite with strong magnetic properties and low magnetic losses.

Sustainable macroalgae production at large scale

Pelagic, surface floating, macroalga, Sargassum is harvested at large scale from a free-roaming farm floating freely on the ocean surface, monitored and tracked with GPS drifters and contained only by naturally occurring circular currents known as eddies or gyres, without aquaculture equipment. The farming technique occurs in open ocean through the utilization of system design and technology. Satellite imagery is interpreted to locate naturally occurring Sargassum aggregations or mats. Harvest vessel(s) travel to an identified mat, where only a portion of the natural mat is harvested as starter culture for a free-roaming farm. Cuttings are left behind to become new plants to restore the “mother mat” for no net loss of habitat and for migration for cohabitating organisms. The remainder of the biomass is transported to the identified free-roaming farm site which is in a suitable Eddie. GPS drifters are adhered with seedlings until the crop is ready for harvest.

Scaling carbon fluxes from eddy covariance sites to globe: synthesis and evaluation of the FLUXCOM approach

FLUXNET comprises globally distributed eddy-covariance-based estimates of carbon fluxes between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Since eddy covariance flux towers have a relatively small footprint and are distributed unevenly across the world, upscaling the observations is necessary to obtain global-scale estimates of biosphere–atmosphere exchange. Based on cross-consistency checks with atmospheric inversions, sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) and dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), here we provide a systematic assessment of the latest upscaling efforts for gross primary production (GPP) and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of the FLUXCOM initiative, where different machine learning methods, forcing data sets and sets of predictor variables were employed. Spatial patterns of mean GPP are consistent across FLUXCOM and DGVM ensembles (R 2 >0.94 at 1° spatial resolution) while the majority of DGVMs show, for 70 % of the land surface, values outside the FLUXCOM range. Global mean GPP magnitudes for 2008–2010 from FLUXCOM members vary within 106 and 130 PgC yr -1 with the largest uncertainty in the tropics. Seasonal variations in independent SIF estimates agree better with FLUXCOM GPP (mean global pixel-wise R 2 ~0.75) than with GPP from DGVMs (mean global pixel-wise R 2 ~0.6). Seasonal variations in FLUXCOM NEE show good consistency with atmospheric inversion-based net land carbon fluxes, particularly for temperate and boreal regions (R 2 >0.92). Interannual variability of global NEE in FLUXCOM is underestimated compared to inversions and DGVMs. The FLUXCOM version which also uses meteorological inputs shows a strong co-variation in interannual patterns with inversions (R 2 =0.87 for 2001–2010). Mean regional NEE from FLUXCOM shows larger uptake than inversion and DGVM-based estimates, particularly in the tropics with discrepancies of up to several hundred grammes of carbon per square metre per year. These discrepancies can only partly be reconciled by carbon loss pathways that are implicit in inversions but not captured by the flux tower measurements such as carbon emissions from fires and water bodies. We hypothesize that a combination of systematic biases in the underlying eddy covariance data, in particular in tall tropical forests, and a lack of site history effects on NEE in FLUXCOM are likely responsible for the too strong tropical carbon sink estimated by FLUXCOM. Furthermore, as FLUXCOM does not account for CO 2 fertilization effects, carbon flux trends are not realistic. Overall, current FLUXCOM estimates of mean annual and seasonal cycles of GPP as well as seasonal NEE variations provide useful constraints of global carbon cycling, while interannual variability patterns from FLUXCOM are valuable but require cautious interpretation. Exploring the diversity of Earth observation data and of machine learning concepts along with improved quality and quantity of flux tower measurements will facilitate further improvements of the FLUXCOM approach overall.

Representativeness assessment of the pan-Arctic eddy covariance site network and optimized future enhancements

Abstract. Large changes in the Arctic carbon balance are expected as warming linked to climate change threatens to destabilize ancient permafrost carbon stocks. The eddy covariance (EC) method is an established technique to quantify net losses and gains of carbon between the biosphere and atmosphere at high spatiotemporal resolution. Over the past decades, a growing network of terrestrial EC tower sites has been established across the Arctic, but a comprehensive assessment of the network's representativeness within the heterogeneous Arctic region is still lacking. This creates additional uncertainties when integrating flux data across sites, for example when upscaling fluxes to constrain pan-Arctic carbon budgets and changes therein. This study provides an inventory of Arctic (here > = 60∘ N) EC sites, which has also been made available online (https://cosima.nceas.ucsb.edu/carbon-flux-sites/, last access: 25 January 2022). Our database currently comprises 120 EC sites, but only 83 are listed as active, and just 25 of these active sites remain operational throughout the winter. To map the representativeness of this EC network, we evaluated the similarity between environmental conditions observed at the tower locations and those within the larger Arctic study domain based on 18 bioclimatic and edaphic variables. This allows us to assess a general level of similarity between ecosystem conditions within the domain, while not necessarily reflecting changes in greenhouse gas flux rates directly. We define two metrics based on this representativeness score: one that measures whether a location is represented by an EC tower with similar characteristics (ER1) and a second for which we assess if a minimum level of representation for statistically rigorous extrapolation is met (ER4). We find that while half of the domain is represented by at least one tower, only a third has enough towers in similar locations to allow reliable extrapolation. When we consider methane measurements or year-round (including wintertime) measurements, the values drop to about 1/5 and 1/10 of the domain, respectively. With the majority of sites located in Fennoscandia and Alaska, these regions were assigned the highest level of network representativeness, while large parts of Siberia and patches of Canada were classified as underrepresented. Across the Arctic, mountainous regions were particularly poorly represented by the current EC observation network. We tested three different strategies to identify new site locations or upgrades of existing sites that optimally enhance the representativeness of the current EC network. While 15 new sites can improve the representativeness of the pan-Arctic network by 20 %, upgrading as few as 10 existing sites to capture methane fluxes or remain active during wintertime can improve their respective ER1 network coverage by 28 % to 33 %. This targeted network improvement could be shown to be clearly superior to an unguided selection of new sites, therefore leading to substantial improvements in network coverage based on relatively small investments.

An improved pressure drop correlation for modeling localized effects in a pebble bed reactor

Advances in the development of pebble bed reactors (PBRs) has created a desire for accurate and cost-effective simulation tools for design scoping studies and safety analysis. The current state-of-the-art for these simulations is the use of porous media models, although these models rely on correlations to capture the effects of flow features that are not explicitly modeled. One of the areas where correlation accuracy is currently lacking is in the near-wall region of the bed. In this region, the presence of the wall causes the pebbles to pack more orderly, drastically changing the geometry and flow behavior in this region. This work presents a new generalized pressure drop correlation for PBRs based on the KTA equation. A high-to-low methodology is applied, where large eddy simulation (LES) is performed on two beds of 1568 and 1700 pebbles to generate a high-fidelity dataset. The flow fields are then averaged in time and separated into concentric rings of 0.05 D peb width. Average porosity, velocity, and pressure drop are extracted for each ring and the friction and form losses are calculated. The Reynolds number range for this study is 625–10,000, and thus the form losses are dominant over the friction losses. The form losses across the rings are investigated, and a correction term for the form loss calculation is determined and applied to the KTA equation to drastically improve the capability of modeling localized porosity effects in a porous media code. Finally, the improved correlation reduces near-wall velocity prediction error from over 50% with the KTA correlation to around 5%. Agreement in pressure drop prediction between LES and porous media simulations is also improved.
