Design of a 400-kJ Pulsed Energy Storage Coil

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 35 A))

Abstract

The design of the conductor for the 400-kJ, 25-kA pulsed energy storage coil [1], being built by Westinghouse for the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, differs significantly from the conductor fabricated previously for a 300-kJ coil [2] because of the low-loss requirements and fast pulse rate. As a consequence of the short discharge interval and low-loss requirements, the conductor in this application has a low copper-to-superconductor ratio.
