Abstract
Quench detection is a key issue to be solved for safe operation of high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets. Recently, distributed optical fiber sensors based on Raman and Rayleigh scattering techniques are proposed for quench detection in HTS applications. However, sensing and demodulating principles of these two techniques are different, and they may show different performances in quench detection. In this paper, a 13 m long optical fiber encapsulated HTS coil (OF-coil) was fabricated. Two sensing devices based on Raman and Rayleigh techniques, which are named Raman-device and Rayleigh-device, were prepared. Overcurrent and heater induced quench detection experiments in the OF-coil were carried out and the above two devices were used for quench detection. The results show that both Raman-device and Rayleigh-device can measure temperature changes of the OF-coil in the overcurrent experiment. And their quench response time is 36 s and 14 s, respectively. In heater induced quench detection experiment, Rayleigh-device can successfully acquire local temperature rise of the OF-coil, and the quench response time is 1.7 s. For Raman-device, its spatial resolution is too large to realize local quench detection.
期刊介绍:
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
