Abstract
This paper presents the power dissipation analysis on high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coated conductor tapes and coils under the action of various oscillating currents and fields. The loss calculation on HTS coil was carried out by the H-formulation model implemented in the finite-element method (FEM) software package COMSOL Multiphysics. There were four different oscillating (ac) signals in this paper: sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square. Two scenarios causing loss in HTS tapes and coils which have been analyzed: Scenario 1 ac transport current; Scenario 2 ac magnetic field. The simulation results were compared to the experiment results with the typical sinusoidal ac signal.
