A half-length prototype of the magnet, comprising two axis solenoid coils and a sextupole coil with a cold iron yoke, has been developed to validate the technology of the Nb\u0000₃\u0000Sn superconducting magnet. The construction of the magnet presents a significant challenge due to the complex structure and properties of the Nb\u0000₃\u0000Sn conductor, necessitating quench protection. To tackle this challenge, quench simulations and experiments were conducted using OPERA-Quench and STEAM-LEDET. Based on the simulation results, a protection circuit was designed to ensure the safety of the magnet. Subsequently, the protection circuit underwent testing through a series of experiments. However, some quench events were inadequately protected against due to interference from voltage sparks caused by flux jump, resulting in gradual degradation of the magnet. The estimated adiabatic hot-spot temperature during these events reached 549 K, which is likely responsible for the observed degradation. Additionally, the impact of the utilizing of Metrosil varistors on quench protection is also under investigation.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"34 8","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142691802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these inverters face significant challenges, particularly leakage current and limited voltage boost capability. This paper presents a novel solution to these issues through a five-level transformerless inverter (TLI) topology utilizing switched capacitors (SCs). The inverter utilizes seven insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), two diodes, and two SCs to achieve a five-level boosted output while ensuring low leakage current. Near-zero leakage current is enabled by maintaining a constant common mode voltage (CMV). Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC), instead of traditional modulators, facilitates grid current tracking and reduced current harmonics. The use of only seven switches and two SCs results in increased efficiency and reduced losses. Comprehensive MATLAB/Simulink simulations and an experimental prototype validate the effectiveness of the proposed TLI for solar PV integration.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"34 8","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetic scalar potential (\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$phi$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) is the state variable in nonconducting regions surrounding of the tapes, which are represented as zero thickness objects in the calculus domain. Inside the tapes, an auxiliary 1-D problem formulated in terms of the tangential components of the magnetic field (\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$H$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) takes into account the physics across their thickness. The final finite-element system of equations includes both the 2-D and 1-D discretized equations, which are solved simultaneously in a fully coupled manner and transparently for the user. The use of thin cuts is required to impose transport currents in the tapes. This procedure allows the simulation of problems comprising superconducting tapes in any geometrical configuration.

This paper established an analytical calculation model for the inductance and magnetic field of the toroidal D-shaped HTS magnet under the assumptions of static magnetic field and current distribution, and developed the discrete method and accelerate calculation further through integral transformations. The discrete method was compared and validated against the finite element analysis (FEM) method and 3D T-A homogenization method. The results indicate that the discrepancies in inductance and parallel fields between the discrete analytical method and the 3D T-A are less than 3%, with errors in perpendicular fields within 20%, and exhibit a computational speed 4 to 6 orders of magnitude faster than FEM. The larger error in the perpendicular field is due to the non-uniform superconducting current distribution, which occurs mainly inside the magnet. This approach can be applied to the preliminary evaluation of performance parameters such as stored energy and critical current in toroidal HTS magnets, thereby enhancing the efficiency of electromagnetic design.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"34 8","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when observing the position of a permanent magnet synchronous motor using SMO, there are problems of chattering and slow observation speed. Therefore, in order to improve the anti-interference performance and control accuracy of the PMSM control system. Firstly, an integral nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode observer is studied to improve its observation speed. Secondly, in order to further reduce the chattering of the nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode observer, an adaptive sliding mode control law is designed, which is an adaptive nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode observer (ANFTSMO). An adaptive function related to the sliding surface is established before the switching function to adjust the amplitude of the switching function. Then, the closed-loop system is rigorously analyzed by using Lyapunov theory, and the stability of the observer is proved. Finally, the analysis and verification are carried out on the 1KW PMSM experimental platform, and the position feedback estimation of the studied observer is more accurate under the same torque. Therefore, PMSM has better control performance, stronger robustness and better system stability.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"34 8","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142430728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
