Abstract
High temperature superconducting (HTS) cables have advantages of low loss and large capacity transmission. In order to analyze and protect the HTS cable, especially in the transient process, this paper develops a new method to analyze its thermal properties. Based on the structure parameters and actual working conditions of three-phase coaxial (tri-axial) HTS cable a two-dimensional (2-D) axisymmetric finite element simulation model along the axis was built in COMSOL. By coupling first and then decoupling, the temperature distribution was studied under the conditions of cooling, rated current, cryogenic system failure, local hot spot and short circuit fault. This method solves the problem that non-isothermal flow (nitf) is hard to converge under transient conditions, and has the advantages of simple and accurate.
