Abstract
In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of an alternative design scheme to reducethe AC losses in high temperature superconducting (HTS) power transmissioncables made of non-ferromagnetic HTS coated conductors. With this design, theadjacent tapes of each layer of the cable overlap each other up to a certain distancefrom their edges, typically 1 or 2 mm. Using two different numerical methods,an integral technique and a finite element method, we performed a parametricinvestigation of the idea of overlapping the tapes in the case of a single layer HTS powercable. Through the simulation results, we show that overlapping the tape leadsto an important reduction in the AC losses of the cable (typically two to fivetimes), mostly due to an advantageous redistribution of the current in the tapes.
