Abstract
- High temperature superconducting (HTS) bulks can be magnetized to become powerful trapped field magnets (TFMs), which are promising for high-performance electrical applications. To magnetize such TFMs, pulsed field magnetization (PFM) is supposed to substitute field cooling (FC) to provide in situ magnetization. However, the heat generation during PFM, which reduces the trapped field has always been an issue, so numerical simulation of the process is important to provide optimal magnetization strategies. In this paper, HTS bulks magnetized by PFM are simulated with an axisymmetric electromagnetic-thermal coupled model based on H-formulation. Influences of important yet difficult-to-characterize parameters of HTS bulks including n values in the E-J Power Law and B0 in the Kim's Law are investigated. Furthermore, controlled magnetic density distribution coils (CMDCs) which generate a non-uniform field are suggested to further improve the trapped field of HTS bulks compared to split coils proposed previously.
