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 …
Parameter-free method to extract the Jc(B,θ) field-dependence from in-field current–voltage characteristics of HTS tapes
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:00:34 PM
The method presented here allows computing the critical current density (Jc) of superconducting materials from its in-field experimentally measured critical current (Ic). This is particularly important for applications like HTS cables for power transmission and fault current limiters, …
2-D electro-thermal model for simulating non-uniform quench in 2G HTS coated conductors
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 12:57:24 PM
The model calculates the time evolution of the electric potential and the temperature in a 2G HTS CC when a transport current is applied in presence of a low Jc region (defect) in the tape. The heat generated at the defect location creates a normal zone that propagates along the tape. …

2-D homogeneous model to estimate AC losses in coated conductor stacks and coils
by administrator on Mar 14, 2024 3:41:29 PM
This model was shared by V. Zermeno, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The model uses a homogenization technique to calculate the current distribution inside the superconducting layers of a HTS stack where each tape carries the same net current as it would be the case in a coil. The …
