A Finite-Element Method Framework for Modeling Rotating Machines With Superconducting Windings

Abstract: Electrical machines employing superconductors are attractive solutions in a variety of application domains. Numerical models are powerful and necessary tools to optimize their design and predict their performance. The electromagnetic modeling of superconductors by finite-element method (FEM) is usually based on a power-law resistivity for their electrical behavior. The implementation of such constitutive law in conventional models of electrical machines is quite problematic: the magnetic vector potential direc… Show more

“…The Dirichlet boundary conditions (6) and (7) are assumed to be incorporated into the function spaces. The third integral in (13) and the fourth integral in (14) provide the natural coupling interface exploited by the coupled field formulation. It is worth noting that following [20], the constraint condition for the current in (5) can be reformulated as…”

“…The discrete field problem is derived from the general weak formulation in (13), (14) and (15). The slab approximation is enforced by defining a set of edge functions v r q which encode the field constraints (33) and (34).…”

“…So from (5) to (10), the boundary condition can be re-written in terms of the magnetic scalar potential in order to find the eigenvalue of the problem defined in the r-direction. 3) General solution in each region By using the separation of variable method, a general solution of (4) is obtained by satisfying the boundary conditions (11). The general solution is the same for regions I and II and can be written as 00 ( , )…”

“…These conflicting requirements were identified early in the project [14] and in this work the solution devised is presented with the assistance of a 2D finite element model, developed by KIT also within ASuMED [15], weakly coupling two formulations. The model allows a superconducting machine to be treated roughly as a conventional one during this stage of its development and yields numerical results both about its performance (torque) and the expected losses in the stacks, providing insight about its demagnetization rate.…”
