Vývoj a kvalifikácia VTS vodičov pre fúzne magnety
Development qualification of HTSC conductors for fusion magnets
Program: FP7
Project leader: doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc.
Duration: 1.1.2007 – 31.12.2012
SUPER3C – Kábel z páskového vodiča so supravodivým pokrytím
Superconducting coated conductor cable
Program: FP6
Project leader: doc. Ing. Gömöry Fedor, DrSc.
Annotation: The Super3C project therefore aims at establishing the feasibility of a low-loss HTS energy cable using CC tapes. It comprises the development, manufacturing and testing of a functional model consisting of a one-phase, 30-meter long, 10kV, 1 kA cable with its terminations. It is expected to be the first HTS cable in the world using only CC tapes as currnet carrying elements.

Tepelno-elektrická stabilita supravodičov pri nekonvenčných spôsoboch chladenia
Thermo-electrical stability of superconductors in unconventional cooling conditions
Program: SASPRO
Project leader: Ing. Vojenčiak Michal, PhD.
Annotation: Superconductors are materials with strongly non-linear current-voltage characteristic. When the transported electrical current is below the critical value they exhibit zero resistance, while at higher currents their resistance is high. Latter regime is associated with energy dissipation and temperature increase; it can lead to the temperature excursion causing a damage of superconducting material. Stability of the superconducting wire describes how big is the margin against transition to nonsuperconducting state and whether it will be followed by a material degradation. In this project we investigate the stability in conditions representing the situation typical for two configurations: the fault current limiter and the cable for a coil winding.
