    摘要: The present application discloses a terminal structure for conduction cooling high temperature superconducting cable, comprising: a cable terminal body; a terminal thermal insulation shell, in which a vacuum thermal insulation cavity is formed, and the cable terminal body being arranged in the vacuum thermal insulation cavity; a refrigeration mechanism comprising a refrigeration output part extending into the vacuum thermal insulation cavity, and the refrigeration output part being connected to the cable terminal body through a cooling-conducting structure. The terminal structure provided by the present application cools the high-temperature superconducting cable by means of conduction cooling of a refrigerator without operations of low-temperature liquid transportation and supplementary, and can operate for a long time without regular maintenance, reduce the heat leakage of the cable terminal, improve the utilization efficiency of the cooling capacity of the refrigerator, and effectively ensure the stable operation of the cable for a long time.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for causing sufficient deformation in precursor particles even when a soft high-purity metal is used for an outer layer material in mechanical milling, and manufacturing an MgB2 superconducting wire. A method for manufacturing an MgB2 superconducting wire in which an MgB2 filament is covered by an outer layer material, the method comprising: subjecting magnesium powder and boron powder to a shock that is insufficient for MgB2 to be clearly produced, and producing precursor particles in which boron particles are dispersed inside a magnesium matrix; filling a metal tub with the precursor particles; processing the metal tube filled with precursor particles to form a wire; and heat-treating the wire to synthesize the MgB2; wherein the method is characterized in that a portion of the wire-drawing step includes swaging.

    摘要: A superconducting electrical power distribution system has a superconducting bus bar and one or more bus bar thermal conductor lines extending in thermal proximity along the bus bar to receive heat from the bus bar over the length of the bus bar. The system further has superconducting cables electrically connected to the bus bar at respective electrical joints distributed along the bus bar. The system further has a cryogenic cooling sub-system. The system further has a network comprising first and second thermal conductor lines, each line comprising a cold end which is cooled by the cryogenic cooling sub-system, and an opposite hot end, whereby heat received by each line is normally conducted along the line in a direction from its hot end to its cold end.
