“…This implies that AC loss in the assemblies can simply be scaled by the macroscopic coil I c . Similarly, scaling AC loss by the overall wire/cable critical current has been reported in single wires and Roebel cables [24,26,29]. Theoretical justification for this scaling is provided by the expression [30], derived from Brandt and Indenbom [31] for total loss in a conductor, valid in the case of field-independent J c :…”

“…The measured AC loss per cycle is frequency independent, indicating that the loss is hysteretic. The transport AC loss in the low current region deviates from the Norris ellipse calculation, which might be attributed to the spatial variation of local J c [26]. The current dependence shown in figure 8(a) is consistent with a shell of higher J c material and a core of lower J c material within the elliptical envelope of coupled filaments typical of a BSCCO powder-in-tube conductor.…”
Both AC loss and wire cost in coil windings are critical factors for HTS AC machinery applications. We present AC loss measurement results in three HTS coil assemblies at 77 K and 65 K which have hybrid coil structure comprising one central winding (CW) and two end windings (EWs) wound with ReBCO and BSCCO wires with different self-field Ic values at 77 K. All AC loss results in the coil assemblies are hysteretic and the normalized AC losses in the coil assemblies at different temperatures can be scaled with the Ic value of the coil assemblies. The normalised results show that AC loss in a coil assembly with BSCCO CW can be reduced by using EWs wound with high Ic ReBCO wires, whilst further AC loss reduction can be achieved by replacing the BSCCO CW with ReBCO CW. The results imply a flexible hybrid coil structure is possible which considers both AC loss and wire cost in coil assemblies.

“…This clearly shows very close agreement between the measurement partners. Some data were also compared with thermometric measurements [2] by Southampton and again there was very good correlation between them, further verifying the electrical technique.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
