This paper presents the magnetic field analysis of the racetrack double pancake field coil for the 10 MW class superconducting wind turbine which is considered to be the next generation of wind turbines using the 3 Dimensional FEM(Finite Elements Method). Generally, the racetrack-shaped field coil which is wound by the second generation(2G) superconducting wire in the longer axial direction is used, because the racetrack-shaped field coil generates the higher magnetic field density at the minimum size and reduces the synchronous reactance. To analysis the performance of the wind turbines, It is important to calculate the distribution of magnetic flux density at the straight parts and both end sections of the racetrack-shaped high temperature superconductivity(HTS) field coil. In addition, Lorentz force acting on the superconducting wire is calculated by the analysis of the magnetic field and it is important that through this way Lorentz force can be used as a parameter in the mechanical analysis which analyzes the mechanical stress on the racetrack-shaped field coil.

To improve the driving sensitivity of an optical pickup actuator for high density and high speed drive, we present a new actuator design using multipolar flux-density distribution by magnetic materials and Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets. We expect this actuator to use in 3-axis actuator for tilt compensation as well as conventional 2-axis actuator. The electromagnetic field analysis applying 3-D FEM was performed and several samples were actually tested. From comparing simulated data with experimental results, we verified the accuracy of the simulation and the superiority of the presented method.

In general, we apply the 2 dimensional method to analyze the characteristic of electric machinery. But it is very difficult to analyze the air-cored machine like as superconducting generator, because it have 3 dimensional flux distribution. In this paper, we compare the analysis r between 2D and 3D. 3D Finite Element Meth applied to the superconducting generator at n condition. And we studied the characteristic acc to the axial length of magnetic shield.

The Design of are quenching parts of molded case circuit breakers depends on the utilization of strength and distribution of the magnetic field by which the arc is forced. The magnetic field causes the are to move into a set of V-slotted iron grids, where the are is extinguished rapidly. This paper present the effective method 10 design V-slotted iron plates of the are breaking chamber of molded case circuit breakers. This magnetic force was calculated by using the flux densities in the arc which are obtained by three dimensional finite element method, as a result of that this paper verified by testing that a grid model which has biggest magnetic force is excellent in the are quenching ability.

From among the NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) methods, the MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage) PIG (Pipeline Inspection Gauge) is especially suitable for testing pipelines because the pipeline has high magnetic permeability. MFL PIG showed high performance in detecting the metal loss and corrosions. However, MFL PIG is difficult to detect the crack which occured by exterior-interior pressure difference in pipelines and the shape of crack is very long and narrow. Therefore, the new PIG is needed to be researched and developed for detecting the cracks. The CMFL (Circumferential MF) PIG performs magnetic fields circumferentially and can maximize the magnetic flux leakage at the cracks. In this paper, CMFL PIG is designed and the distribution of the magnetic fields is analyzed by using 3 dimensional nonlinear finite element method (FEM). By Simulating and Measuring the magnetic leakage field, it is possible to detect of axial cracks in the pipeline.

In comparison with conventional motors, Superconducting Homopolar Synchronous Motors (SHSMs) have advantages that it generates high magnetic field by superconducting winding. Therefore, superconducting coil used in SHSM can reduce the motor size and enhance the motor efficiency for high torque applications under the space constraints for propulsion system. During the design process of SHSM, it is required to evaluate the performance of initial design model, that is accurately analyzed using 3D magnetic field modeling large air-gap and flux distribution of axial direction is properly taken into account. In this paper, we analyze magnetic field of a homopolar motor with a 4-pole homopolar rotor and a stator of 3 phase windings. The field analysis is done using 3D finite element analysis which can reflect the end effect and overhang winding. And we extract mutual inductances between a rotor wind and the 3 stator windings. The extracted inductances are used for evaluation of overall motor performances that are calculated with generalized circuit theory of electrical machines.

In this paper, the general electromagnetic design process of a 10-MW-class high-temperature superconducting (HTS) synchronous generator that is intended to be utilized for large scale offshore wind generator is discussed. This paper presents three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic design proposal and electrical characteristic analysis results of a 10-MW-class HTS synchronous generator for wind power. For more detailed design by reducing the errors of a two-dimensional (2D) design owing to leakage flux in air-gap, we redesign and analyze the 2D conceptual electromagnetic design model of the HTS synchronous generator using 3D finite element analysis (FEA) software. Then electrical characteristics which include the no-load and full-load voltage of generator, harmonic contents of these two load conditions, voltage regulation and losses of generator are analyzed by commercial 3D FEA software.
