MATLAB scripts for simulation of superconductors (tapes, bars and cylinders)
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:34:33 PM
Scripts for Matlab to simulate superconducting strips, bars and cylinders in various conditions of applied magnetic fields and currents. To find the current distribution, an integral formulation known as Brandt’s method is used.
T-A multi-scale and homogeneous models for benchmark #3
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:31:56 PM
These two models address the analysis of the Benchmark #3, a 20 HTS tapes stack. The models show how the multi-scale and homogeneous methods are adapted to be used in conjunction with the T-A formulation. The achieved simplification in the description of the system allow to reduce the …
AC losses in a superconducting magnet in the presence of a time-dependent transport current
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:29:34 PM
This model is based on ANSYS 15.0. The model calculates the AC loss in a superconducting magnet in the presence of a time-dependent transport current. The superconductor is modeled with Bean model. The parameters and outputs are all in text format, can be easily read and modified. Alm …
Effect of tape non uniformities on end-to-end V-I characteristics of superconducting tape
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:27:33 PM
This code evaluates the influence of non-uniformities of (Ic,n) along a superconducting tape, modeled as a series of non-linear resistances, each characterized by its Ic and n. In particular, it calculates the effect of the statistical distributions of Ic and n of these segments on th …
T-A formulation for modelling 2G HTS stacks
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:24:41 PM
Impressive work Nothing else matters Impressive work Nothing else matters The model shows how to use the thin strip approximation for the superconducting coated conductors to speed up calculation. The model simulates the magnetisation of a 2G HTS stack. The T formulation is used for m …
Mixed A- and H- formulation for modeling electrical machines with superconducting windings
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:20:57 PM
The model uses the H-formulation for the superconducting windings and the A-formulation for the non-superconducting parts. Two important lines are defined: the “tramodel” lines, which separates the two formulations, and the “rotation” line, which separates the fixed and rotating parts …
3-D numerical simulation with the fast Fourier transform of a magnetic shield and a magnetic lens made of a bulk type II superconductor
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:18:51 PM
The method is efficient and can be easier to implement than the alternative approaches based on the finite element methods.
Modeling and simulation of termination resistances in superconducting cables
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:13:58 PM
The models presented here are used to simulate termination resistances which are largely responsible for the uneven distribution of currents in superconducting cables [1]. For this purpose, four different models are presented. The first is a 0D stationary model, where time enters as a …
Superconducting magnetic bearing composed by a permanent magnet and bulk HTS sample
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:11:12 PM
In the considered examples, the HTS sample is either a bulk superconductor or stacks of 2G wires. In the second case, the 2G stack was homogenized in order to speed up the solution. The movement between the HTS and the permanent magnet is avoided in the model by restricting the simula …
Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) connected to a power system
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:08:33 PM
The model can be implemented in any power system simulator (e.g., Matlab/Simulink, EMTP, PowerFactoy, etc.) for transient analyses of short circuit currents. Here one presents the method applied to MCP-BSCCO-2212 SFCL devices. The method however has already been extended to SFCL based …
