Parametric design for superconducting synchronous motor with 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network model

This paper proposes an effective parametric design for high temperature superconducting (HTS) synchronous motors with 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method. Proposed design process consists of 5 steps which are electric design, mechanical design, characteristic analysis for field and armature, and. motor characteristic analysis. Especially, in order to predict the performance of HTS synchronous motors, the variation of output power characteristics according to the variation of back electromotive force (BEMF) and inductance is analysed in electric design. Reliability of proposed design process and developed program is verified through the comparison of the results of commercial program using 3D finite element analysis (FEA) method.
