Abstract
To improve the performance of a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil, it is important to improve its transport current performance. In general, the critical current and n-value of an HTS (Bi-2223/Ag) tape depend on the applied magnetic fields and the angle between the magnetic field and the tape under a constant temperature. The critical currents in the coil edge of the tapes are particularly low because of the distribution of the magnetic fields. However, the critical currents in the central portion remain high. A large amount of current can be supplied to the central portion and the coil performance will improve by supplying different currents between these areas. In this study, I propose an HTS coil in which the coil edge and central portion are isolated for each excitation. Namely, I employ the characteristics of the persistent current mode. The analysis of varying regions of current separation confirmed an optimum current separation. This optimized coil improves the central magnetic field by 21% and the stored energy by 50% compared to those of a normal rectangular coil with an HTS tape of the same length.
