ABSTRACT
Data included in the Test Certificate which accompanied an existent High Temperature Superconductor coil, delivered by Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd., is referring only to the dimensional and safety parameters of the device, and it is not sufficient for sizing an energy storage unit intended to demonstrate the feasibility of such a system for space applications.
Keywords: magnetic energy storage, high temperature superconducting coil, inductance. __________________________ *Corresponding author: Mariana Iliescu, E-mail: Mariana.Iliescu@icsi.ro, Phone: 0250/732 744, Fax: 0250/732 746
