This work was carried out during the years 2011 to 2014 as a part of devloping a Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system. This ambitious task was in line with the ARPA-E\u2019s mission to catalyze and accelerate the creation of transformational energy technologies by making high-risk, high-reward investments in their early stages of development. As a part of this R&amp;D, BNL demonstrated a high field HTS solenoid reaching 12.5 T at 27 K, a world record at that time, which played a role in dreaming nuclear fusion devices operating in similar parameter range in coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contributions of the Magnet Division at BNL are summarized below. This work was supported in part by the DOE Advanced Research Program Agency-Energy via a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement that Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has with ABB, Inc. and in part by the Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA) under Contract DE-SC0012704 with the U.S. Department of Energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/07378897.pdf\"><strong>Paper at the International Magnet Technology Conference (MT24), Seoul, Korea, October 19, 2015<\/strong>.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/mt24-gupta-smes-16oct-1orab_01-post.pdf\"><strong>Presentation at the International Magnet Technology Conference (MT24), Seoul, Korea, October 19, 2015<\/strong>.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/11\/smes-final-report.8.13.14-SMD.pdf\"><strong>Final Report from Magnet Division at BNL, August 14, 2014.<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cca2014-gupta-submitted.pdf\">High Field HTS SMES Coil, International Workshop on Coated Conductors for Applications 2014 (CCA2014), December 1, 2014<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/gupta-ltsw15-17feb-smes.pdf\">High Field HTS SMES Solenoid, Low Temperature Superconductivity Workshop (LTSW15), Napa Valley, CA, February 16-18, 2015<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/Lakshmi-LTSW-2015-150210.pdf\">Fabrication and testing at 77 K of large-aperture REBCO pancake coils for a high-field SMES solenoid, Low Temperature Superconductivity Workshop (LTSW15), Napa Valley, CA, February 16-18, 2015<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T<a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/Test_Results_of_High_Performance_HTS_Pancake_Coils_at_77_K.pdf\">est Results of High Performance HTS Pancake Coils at 77 K, MT23, July 2013.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/quarterly-smes-reports\/\">Quarterly Reports and Presentations<\/a> (informal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/hts-solenoid-for-axion-search-at-ibs\/\">Please see also HTS High Field Axion Solenoid for IBS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wpw.bnl.gov\/rgupta\/pbl-bnl-hts-solenoids\/\">Please see also PBL\/BNL R&amp;D on the HTS Solenoids<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BNL magnet division carried out R&amp;D on the design, construction, and testing of a 25 T, 100 mm solenoid made with the High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) operating at 4 K.
