    Abstract:

    AC loss can be a significant problem for any applications that utilize or produce an AC current or magnetic field, such as an electric machine. The authors investigate the electromagnetic properties of high temperature superconductors with a particular focus on the AC loss in superconducting coils made from YBCO coated conductors for use in an all-superconducting electric machine. This paper presents an improved 2D finite element model for the cross-section of such coils, based on the H formulation. The model is used to calculate the transport AC loss of a racetrack-shaped coil using constant and magnetic field-dependent critical current densities, and the inclusion and exclusion of a magnetic substrate, as found in RABiTS (rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrate) YBCO coated conductors. The coil model is based on the superconducting stator coils used in the University of Cambridge EPEC Superconductivity Group's all-superconducting permanent magnet synchronous motor design. To validate the modeling results, the transport AC loss of a stator coil is measured using an Electrical Method based on inductive compensation by means of a variable mutual inductance. Finally, the implications of the findings on the performance of the motor are discussed.

  • junction temperature measurement Method for sic bipolar junction transistor using base collector voltage drop at low current
    IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Bangbing Shi, Shiwei Feng, Yamin Zhang, Kun Bai, Yuxuan Xiao, Lei Shi, Hui Zhu, Chunsheng Guo
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes an Electrical Method for estimation of the vertical junction temperature of silicon carbide bipolar junction transistors (SiC BJTs). This measurement Method is based on measurement of the base–collector voltage ( V BC) drop at a low current ( V BC(low)) during the turn- off process. This voltage shows both good sensitivity and linearity with respect to temperature. The traditional temperature-sensitive Electrical parameter V BE(low) (i.e., the base-emitter voltage at a low current) and an infrared camera are used to compare the characteristics of V BC(low). The results show that use of V BC(low) provides more accurate junction temperature and thermal resistance measurement results, which can then be used to extract the vertical junction temperature of the SiC BJT under test.

  • power dissipation in hts coated conductor coils under the simultaneous action of ac and dc currents and fields
    Superconductor Science and Technology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Boyang Shen, Jianzhao Geng, Xiuchang Zhang, James Gawith, Yingzhen Liu, Francesco Grilli, T A Coombs
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a comprehensive alternating current (AC) loss study of a circular high temperature superconductor (HTS) coated conductor coil. The AC losses from a circular double pancake coil were measured using the Electrical Method. A 2D axisymmetric H -formulation model using the FEM package in COMSOL Multiphysics has been established to match the circular geometry of the coil used in the experiment. Three scenarios have been analysed: Scenario 1 with AC transport current and DC magnetic field (experiment and simulation); Scenario 2 with DC transport current and AC magnetic field (simulation); and Scenario 3 with AC transport current and AC magnetic field (simulation and experimental data support). The angular dependence analysis on the coil under a magnetic field with different orientation angle θ has been carried out for all three scenarios. For Scenario 3, the effect of the relative phase difference Δ between the AC current and the AC field on the total AC loss of the coil has been investigated. In summary, a current/field/angle/phase dependent AC loss ( I , B , θ, Δ) study of a circular HTS coil has been carried out. The obtained results provide useful indications for the future design and research of HTS AC systems.
