First, we measured the critical current Ic for different ambient temperatures T_0 at 4.2K-40K. Experimental results revealed that I_c increased with the decrease in T_0 and was saturated at T_0 < 10K. We carried out thermal analysis considering heat generation, conduction and transfer under conduction-cooling condition, and reproduced the electrical and thermal characteristics of the conduction-cooled HTS coil, taking account of temperature dependence of specific heat and thermal conductivity of the materials. We also measured the temperature rise of Bi2212/Ag HTS coil for different continuous current levels at T_0=4.8K. Experimental results revealed the criterion of thermal runaway, which was discussed in terms of heat genaration and propagation in the test coil.}, pages = {813--816}, title = {Electrical and thermal characteristics of Bi2212/Ag HTS coils for conduction-cooled SMES}, volume = {43}, year = {2006} }
