The value of I$_c$(critical current) in HTS (High Temperature Superconductor) tape has a great influence on B${\bot}$(vertical field). Therefore, in shape design of field coil for the HTSG(High Temperature Superconducting Generator), a method to reduce the B${\bot}$ should be considered in order to maintain the stability and substantial improvement on the performance. On the basis of the magnetic field analysis, this paper deals with various field coil shape according to the iron plate to obtain small B${\bot}$ by using Biot-Savart's law, image method and 2D FEA(2 Dimensional Finite Element Analysis) considering the stress condition of HTS. Moreover, the analysis is verified by comparison with experimental results. And also this paper presents the advanced model by using 3D FEA, in which flux density at armature is calculated in 5kVA class HTSG.

Electromagnetic impulse welding (EMIW) is a type of solid state welding using the Lorentz force generated by interaction between the magnetic field of the coil and the current induced in the workpiece. Although many experimental studies have been investigated on the expansion and compression welding of tube using the EMIW process, studies on the EMIW process of lap joint between flat sheets are uncommon. Since the magnetic field enveloped inside the tube can be controlled with ease, the electromagnetic technique has been widely used for tube welding. Conversely, it is difficult to control the magnetic field in the flat sheet welding so as to obtain the required welding velocity. The current study analyzed the effects of coil shape on the impulse velocity for suitable flat one-turn coil for the EMIW of the flat sheets. The finite element (FE) multi-physics simulation involving magnetic and structural field of EMIW were conducted with the commercial software LS-DYNA to evaluate the several shape variables, viz., influence of various widths, thicknesses, gaps and standoff distances of the flat one-turn coil on the impulse velocity. To obtain maximum impulse velocity, the flat one-turn coil was designed based on the FE simulation results. The experiments were performed using an aluminum alloy 1050 sheets of 1.0mm thickness using the designed flat one-turn coil. Through the microscopic interfacial analysis of the welded specimens, the interfacial connectivity was observed to have no defects. In addition, the single lap joint tests were performed to evaluate the welding strength, and a fracture occurred in the base material. As a result, a flat one-turn coil was successfully designed to guarantee welding with bond strength equal to or greater than the base material strength.

The value of I$_{c}$(critical current) in HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) tape has a great influence on B(equation omitted) (magnetic field amplitude applied perpendicular to the tape surface). Therefore, I$_{c}$ of HTS magnet is determined by not only operating temperature but also the B(equation omitted). In shape design of field coil for the HTS motor, a method to reduce the B(equation omitted) and to determine operating current should be considered in order to optimal design. On the basis of the magnetic field analysis, this paper deals with various field coil shape to obtain operating current of HTS motor by using analytical method. And also this paper discusses the operating current of 100hp class HTS motor by using I$_{c}$-B(equation omitted) curve.curve.

Critical current of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil is influenced by its own self magnetic field. Direction and density distribution of the magnetic field around the coil are fixed after the shape of the coil is decided. If the entire part of the HTS tape has homogeneous $I_c$ distribution characteristic, quench would be initiated in fixed location on the coil. However, the actual HTS tape has inhomogeneous $I_c$ distribution along the length. If the $I_c$ distribution of the HTS tape is known, we can expect the spot within the HTS coil that has the highest probability to initiate the quench. In this paper, $I_c$ distribution within the HTS coil under self-field effect is simulated by MATLAB. In the simulation procedure, $I_c$ distribution of the entire part of the HTS tape is assume d to follow Gaussian-distribution by central limit theorem. The HTS coil model is divided into several segments, and the critical current of each segment is calculated based on the-generalized Kim model. Single pancake model is simulated and self-field of HTS coil is calculated by Biot-Savart's law. As a result of simulation, quench-initiating spot in the actual HTS coil can be predicted statistically. And that statistical analysis can help detect or protect the quench of the HTS coil.

This paper presents the optimization for shape design of a field coil used High Temperature Superconducting Motor (HTSM). In materials of HTSM, critical current Ic is more sensitive to magnetic fields directed along the axis or the unit cell ($B_{\bot}$). Thus, in the shape design of the HTS magnet. the maximum $B_{\bot}$ should be reduced to limit Ic. In order to reduce the maximum $B_{\bot}$, the shape optimization of the magnet, which is used for the field coil of HTSM, is necessary. It can be accomplished by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Finally, the result of RSM is verified by comparison with these experimental results.

A new electric coil design methodology using the notion of topology optimization is developed. The specific design problem in consideration is to find optimal coil configuration that maximizes the Lorentz force under given magnetic field. Topology optimization is usually formulated using the finite element method, but the novel feature of this method is that no such partial differential equation solver is employed during the whole optimization process. The proposed methodology allows the determination of not only coil shape but also the number of coil turns which is not possible to determine by any existing topology optimization concept and to perform single coil strand identification algorithm. The specific applications are made in the design of two-dimensional fine-pattern focusing coils of an optical pickup actuator. In this method, the concept of equivalent magnetizing current is utilized to calculate the Lorentz force, and the optimal coil configuration is obtained without any initial layout. The method is capable of generating the location and shape of turns of coil. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in optical pickup applications, design problems involving multipolar permanent magnets are considered.

In this paper, a design scheme of SMES coil with HTS wire(BSCCO 2223) for least stray field and conductor consumption is presented. Three types of coils (solenoid, multiple solenoid, and modular toroid) have been considered. Shape and size of the coil was decided by line element method with evolution strategy and confirmed with Finite Element Method. Modular toroid displayed least stray field with given conductor length. The goal of the study is to establish designing technology of a HTS coil for SMES which works in relatively high magnetic field.

To enhance the critical current of superconducting coil, the magnetic field experienced by superconductors in a coil should be minimized. This is true for both low $T_{c}$ and high $T_{c}$ superconductors, and the difference between the two lays in their isotropic/an-isotropic characteristics. In this paper, we propose a shape optimization algorithm to reduce radial magnetic field components in HTS solenoid to enhance the critical current of a solenoid. In the algorithm, finite element method and continuum shape design sensitivity formula were employed. The objective function is to minimize the maximum radial magnetic fields in a solenoid with a constraint of constant solenoid volume condition. In this paper, the details on algorithm are introduced and the calculated optimized shapes are presented.

Air-cored superconducting synchronous generator(ASSG) is characterized by an air-cored machine with its rotor iron and stator iron teeth removed. For this reason, in the case of the shape optimum design of ASSG, other design variables different from an iron-cored machine should be considered, which will lead to substantial improvement on the performance. The major design variables that are considered by using Three-dimensional Finite element Method(3D FEM) in this paper are : 1) field coil width, 2) axial length of magnetic shield, and 3) armature winding method. End-ring of armature winding is considered in the calculation of EMF. When it comes to field coil width, as field coil width enlarges, its effective field increases but the maximum field on the superconductor decreases. this determines the critical current density. this study presents an effective field coil width, axial length of magnetic shield, and armature winding method, and also the analysis is verified by the experimental results.
