TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for separating the model of an electrical machine in two parts, where the magnetic field is calculated with the most appropriate formulation: the H -formulation in the part containing the superconductors and the A -formulating in part containing conventional conductors (and possibly permanent magnets).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first simulation results and gave some anticipation on next steps for the 3-phase SFCL, which was already assembled and tested in 2015, whereas the second phase was tested in February 2016.

TL;DR: The result of this research activity is a resistive-type 9 kV/3.4 MVA SFCL device, based on first-generation (1G) BSCCO tapes, nowadays permanently installed as a single-feeder fault protection, which is the first S FCL successfully installed in Italy.

TL;DR: In this article, the first small-scale HTS winding prototypes are described and power tests implemented to validate their performances, and the test results allowed to identify the best layout consisting in two parallel-connected coaxially arranged 2G windings, each made of two layers anti-inductively wound on a fiberglass cylinder, and each featuring a total 2G tape amount of 96 m.

TL;DR: The DRYSMES4GRID project as mentioned in this paper was recently funded by the Italian Minister of Economic Development, Italy to demonstrate the feasibility of cost-competitive SMES based on magnesium diboride (MgB2) with a cryogen-free cooling by means of the manufacturing and the testing of a demonstrator with an objective rating of 500 kJ/200 kW.
