초고속 LSM 추진용 초전도 전자석 시작품의 설계, 제작 및 평가

초록

KRRI(Korean Railroad Research Institute) has studied superconducting linear synchronous motor (LSM) as the propulsion system for 600km/h high-speed railway. A scale-down superconducting LSM has successfully developed to demonstrate the system’s design feasibility. This paper introduces the design, fabrication and tests of the prototype superconducting electromagnet. The electromagnet consists of 2-pole superconducting coils in one cryostat, which is about 1/10 scale-down model in the performance of real scale one. The superconducting coil uses 2nd generation high-temperature superconductor (HTS), GdBCO, as the coiling material which was fully provided by a Korean manufacturer. The electromagnet is operated at the cooling temperature of 7~ 10 K and generates the electromotive force of 72,000 At.
