18 ULTRA HIGH FIELD MRI MAGNETS PROPRIETARY DESIGN OF UHF MAGNET AT 7T,11.7T, 17.7T Currently ASG IS COLLABORATING WITH TWO of the most ILLUSTRIOUS LUMINARY SITES in BRAIN RESEARCH 18

19 ASG POWER SYSTEMS LTD: SFCL MANUFACTURER Engineering Company: Intellectual Property, Know How 19

20 ASG POWER SYSTEMS LTD: SFCL MANUFACTURER INCREASING LOAD NEW GENERATION INTERCONNECTING GRID UPGRADE NATURAL EVENTS 20

21 FAULT CURRENT LIMITERS TODAY SPLITTING THE NETWORK HIGH IMPEDANCE TRANSFORMERS OR SERIES REACTORS UPRATING EXISTING SWITCHGEAR SINGLE USE FAULT LIMITER (ABB) OUR NEW FAULT CURRENT LIMITER SFCL REDUCES POWER QUALITY AND REDUNDANCY REDUCES POWER QUALITY DOES NOT REDUCE FAULT LEVEL DOES NOT FAIL TO SAFETY LOW IMPEDANCE UNDER LOAD, HIGH IMPEDANCE DURING FAULT, FAIL SAFE 21

22 @ IPH Power Test Laboratories, Berlin ASG 36KV SFCL TYPE TESTING SHORT CIRCUIT TESTS 5 tests for 250 ms 1 test for 3 seconds HIGH VOLTAGE TESTS Lightning impulse (full wave) Lightning impulse (chopped) Power frequency Partial discharge 22

23 ASG 36KV SFCL SPECIFICATION PARAMETER Rated voltage Line frequency Line voltage at fault level below Maximum allowable steady state voltage drop at rated continuous normal current (800A) Lightning impulse voltage withstand level Power frequency voltage withstand level Continuous normal current Maximum normal current (magnitude and duration) Prospective unlimited peak fault current Peak limited current Prospective unlimited symmetrical fault current Symmetrical limited current Fault duration REQUIREMENT 36kV 50Hz 33kV 600V rms 170kV; 1.2/50μs 70 kv for 1 minute 800Arms Load power factor Arms / 15minutes 21.0kApeak 13.8kApeak 8.0kArms 5.0kArms Up to 3 seconds 23

24 DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS Interconnection of MV and HV grids Connection of distributed generation to the MV grid Transformer protection Protection of the auxiliaries in large power plants 24

25 DESIGN FLEXIBILITY By modifying the size of the AC and DC components of the SFCL, we can offer a wide range of current and voltage ratings: KV FCL WEIGHT 15 T KV FCL WEIGHT 50 T KV FCL WEIGHT 100 T 25

26 RUSSIAN COMPANIES MAKING UP FOR GOOD COMPETITION At EUCAS 2017 a Russian company called presented a 220kV resistive SFCL A remarkable achievement if brought to successful end We think our technology might prove more compact in design, more robust in operation and more cost effective, but surely interested to know more and possibly collaborate. 26

27 MGB2 MAGNESIUM DIBORIDE MGB2 simply a magnesium & boron alloy - has been recently discovered as a Superconductor It is potentially competitive to the present NbTi technology thanks to: HIGHER superconducting temperature Abundancy of its constituents Non-toxic CAPABILITY TO CARRY 1000X CURRENTS THAN COPPER through the same section But we need an INDUSTRIAL PROCESS TO PRODUCE MGB2 INTO LONG AND ECONOMICALLY VIABLE WIRES 27

28 NO EXPENSIVE / DANGEROUS COOLING The higher temperature of MgB 2 allow for innovative cooling of devices, making it much more user friendly There is no need to use any (expensive/dangerous) liquid coolant to maintain MgB 2 in operating conditions 28

29 THE MGB2 WIRE TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES The main key-points of our MgB 2 wire technology: FULLY SCALABLE process most advantageous PRICE TO PERFORMANCE RATIO in its operating regime It allows to develop LOSS-LESS superconducting electro technical devices in DRY OPERATION MODE It is a very LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIAL, WITH FURTHER ADVANTAGES in aircraft, aerospace and transportation sectors of application 29

30 MGB2 SUPERCONDUCTING WIRES PRODUCED BY A POWDER-IN-TUBE PROPRIETARY METHOD MgB 2 /rolling in-line sintering OUR BASE MATERIALS ARE: Boron and magnesium fine powders Nickel-alloy tubes Niobium tubes WE ARE QUALIFYING RUSSIAN SUPPLIERS FOR OUR CRITICAL INGREDIENTS: JSC- Aviabor, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod Bochvar Institute, Moscow 30

31 TECHNOLOGY VALIDATION We have a number of concrete examples of practical uses of our MGB2 WIRE TECHNOLOGY CERN has been among the first to start implementing our wires in their particle accelerators: we expect to deliver more than KM of wires to renew the entire POWERING CABLE SYSTEM OF LHC On the left, THE WORLD-RECORD CERN CABLE WITH MGB2 wires carrying ka in a VERY COMPACT layout (April 2014) 31
