A self-consistent model for estimating the critical current of superconducting devices

Abstract: Nowadays, there is growing interest in using superconducting wires or tapes for the design and manufacture of devices such as cables, coils, rotating machinery, transformers and fault current limiters among others. Their high current capacity has made them the candidates of choice for manufacturing compact and light cables and coils that can be used in the large scale power applications described above. However, the performance of these cables and coils is limited by their critical current, which is determined… Show more

“…We take the critical current of the whole coil as that of the weakest turn. Comparing to other methods [31][32][33], the method in this article takes the precise magnetization currents into account. In addition, it allows to calculate the coil DC currentvoltage curve with non-uniform power-law exponent, n, and n(B, θ).…”

“…Moreover, the effect of neighboring tapes or coils has not been considered in the general information catalogue as the I c can vary depending on the temperature and type of engineering applications. Researchers have done studies where they have considered the effect of self-field for estimating the critical current of the superconducting tape [14][21] [22]. Most of these studies consider cables with low aspect ratios or having small circular cross-sectional area.…”

“…Most of these studies consider cables with low aspect ratios or having small circular cross-sectional area. Few studies have been performed where cable consisting superconducting tapes with high aspect ratios where critical current of Roebel cables (used in transformer windings) have been estimated [14] [22]. These models have provided fair results however, they need comparative and iterative processes to evaluate the I c and there is a need to consider uniform current distribution within each superconductor.…”
