Simulation of YBCO Tape and Coils in HTS Maglev System
College of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, P. R. China
In the process of running high temperature superconducting maglev train, the AC(Alternating Current) loss of superconducting coil is directly related to its safe operation and operating cost. In this paper, the simulation model was built based on the finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics, and mainly simulated and calculated the AC losses of YBCO(Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide) tape and coils. In this model, as the solving object, the singular and infinite long YBCO tape and coils model was solved with H-formulation and the nonlinear characteristic (E-J constitutive law) and anisotrophy (B-J characteristic) were taken into consideration as the theoretical foundation. Then on the basis of the model under maglev suspension system, AC losses under different amplitude and frequence AC currents were calculated. The results shows that under different frequencies and dynamic components, the local maximum AC loss of YBCO tape and coils occurs when the steady-state DC(Direct Current) current is 30A. Then comparing with old maglev suspension system, the new system can greatly reduce the energy consumption and the material cost.
