Abstract

This paper presents an optimal design method of winding cross section of high temperature superconducting coils wound by Bi2223/Ag tape based on AC loss minimization. We try to optimize the winding cross section starting from the conventional HTS coil with the rectangular cross section to minimize the AC loss. An example of the optimal cross section coil is presented. The result shows that the AC loss in the optimized coil is significantly reduced and the critical current of the optimized coil is increased compared with the rectangle cross section coil. It is verified that our optimal design method is effective to reduce the AC loss in the HTS coil. The disadvantageous points of the optimized coil are also discussed.
