Abstract

In this paper, the design, fabrication and tests of a I MJ HTS magnet for SMES was presented. The magnet was fabricated by BSSCO tapes, it consisted of 44 pancakes, the inner diameter of the winding is 400 mm, the outer diameter is 568 mm and the height is 648 mm, the inductance is 6.38 H and the rated operation current is 560 A at 4.2 K. The tests show the magnet could be operated at the design parameters. The magnet will be used for the 1 MJ/500 kVA SMES unit which will be demonstrated at a 10 kV substation in Beijing.
