摘要 高温超导CORC（conductor on round core）电缆失超时的热负荷严重威胁了低温系统和电缆本体的安全稳定运行。受微米级超导薄膜制备工艺等的影响,CORC电缆并绕的多根高温超导带材不均匀。为分析不均匀临界电流对CORC电缆失超特性的影响,该文搭建了基于三维T-A方程的有限元模型。以降维的带材曲面为求解区域,以等效的电流密度为求解变量,失超模型在同一几何中表达超导和常导两种属性,构建电流和电势两种约束。在导体域建立降维的热模型,用以考虑损耗和传热的影响;在全局建立等效的电路模型,用以控制并联导体的分流。进一步地,耦合模型考虑温度依赖的接头电阻以模拟CORC电缆带材的烧断和电流的突变。结果表明,非均匀高温超导带材影响了电流重分配的动态响应,加快了局部失超的发展过程。
Abstract：The thermal load of the high temperature superconducting (HTS) CORC cable during quenching threatens the safe and stable operation of the cryogenic system and the cable body. Affected by the preparation process of micron-scale superconducting thin films, multiple HTS tapes wound in parallel with the CORC cable are not uniform. To analyze the influence of non-uniform critical current on quench characteristics of CORC cables, a finite element model based on the three-dimensional T-A formulation was built. Taking the reduced-dimensional tape surface as the solution area and the equivalent current density as the solution variable, the quench model expressed two properties of superconductivity and normal-conductivity, and constructed two constraints of current and potential in the same geometry. A reduced-dimensional thermal model was established in the conductor domain to consider the effects of loss and heat transfer; an equivalent circuit model was established globally to control the current redistribution. Further, the coupled model considered the temperature-dependent terminal resistance to simulate the burnout of tape and abrupt changes in current. The simulation results show that non-uniform HTS tapes affect the dynamic response of current redistribution and accelerate the development of local quench.
