Python and Matlab codes to model HTS tapes under arbitrary external field and transport current via integral method
by administrator on Mar 20, 2024 2:44:41 PM
This model was shared by Calvin C. T. Chow, The University of Hong Kong. These Python and Matlab codes calculate ac loss of HTS tapes that are under two types of non-uniform external field whilst carrying a transport current. The two types are (1) field created by a point current sour …
Open source 2-D finite difference method for the simulation of HTS cables
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:45:54 PM
In this work a two-dimensional open source simulation code based on the finite difference method (FDM) has been developed. It is solved by means of the alternating direction implicit routine (ADI). The algorithm has been written in MATLAB language. The method improves computational pe …
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.
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 …
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.
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 …
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, …
