定子励磁无刷超导电机用短端部高紧凑超导磁体研制与测试
Development and Testing of Short-End and High-Compactness Superconducting Magnets for Stator-Excitation Brushless Superconducting Machines
摘要
Abstract
To meet the application demands of stationary seal stator-excitation brushless superconducting machines,this study develops and validates a novel superconducting magnet featuring short ends and high compactness.Initially,a short-end superconducting coil design is proposed and compared with conventional racetrack-shaped coils.Practical selection rules for these two configurations are summarized based on the relationship among the straight-section spacing,the minimum bending radius of the superconducting tape,and the actual bending radius.Furthermore,to achieve a close fit between the coil and the skeleton,the long straight sides are modified into micro-curved arcs,effectively eliminating gaps and mitigating stress concentration at transition points.The overall structural composition of the superconducting magnet is detailed,including the coil skeleton,double-pancake coils,side cover plates,and current leads. Compared to the conventional racetrack-shaped design,the developed superconducting magnet reduces the axial length by 22.3%and saves on superconducting tape costs by 11.4%.Finite element analysis confirms its minimal impact on key machine performance metrics,such as no-load back-EMF and load torque.The detailed manufacturing process for the modular magnet is elaborated,encompassing coil skeleton fabrication,winding procedures using a custom fixture,and assembly.Microscopic inspection of the wound coils reveals flat and smooth surfaces at corners,end sections,and micro-curved straight sections,with no local protrusions or irregularities,indicating successful elimination of gaps between the tape and skeleton.A comprehensive testing platform was established for critical current evaluation,and tests were conducted on the 12 fabricated modular magnets.The measured central magnetic field shows excellent agreement with simulation results during stable current flow,with a maximum error of only 6.79%(below 1.5%for currents above 40 A).Post-welding of the Dewar system,critical currents show only minor deviations(up to-4.66%),confirming the robustness of the manufacturing process.All tested parameters,including critical current,operating current margin,tape length,and Dewar leak rate,meet the design specifications. This research provides a valuable reference for developing high-performance,cost-effective super-conducting magnets for this category of advanced electrical machines.关键词
