Examination of Japanese Mass-Produced Nb3Sn Conductors for ITER Toroidal Field Coils

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov

The performances of six Nb3Sn conductors for the ITER Toroidal Field coils were tested. Four of them showed similar degradation rates of their current sharing temperatures T-cs over 1,000 electromagnetic cycles. By contrast, two of them showed sharp T-cs d ...

Electromagnetic compatibility of power line communication systems

Ana Vukicevic

The power system has been used for communication purposes for many decades, although it was mainly the power utility companies that used low bit rates for control and monitoring purposes. In the last ten years, however, the deregulation of the power and te ...

Computations of AC loss in the ITER magnets, during fast field transients

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Luca Bottura

The calculation of AC loss due to the control currents in ITER is a cumbersome task. The reason is that control transients require small field changes (0.1 T or less) at moderate frequency (up to 10 Hz), where effects of partial penetration of the filament ...
