Design and Electromagnetic Analysis of a 330 kVA Single-Phase HTS Transformer
This paper focuses on conceptual design and electromagnetic analysis of a single-phase high-temperature superconducting (HTS) power transformer with a capacity of 300 kVA by using GdBCO tapes, which is one-third model of a 1 MVA/10 kV/0.4 kV HTS transformer. The conceptual design consists four parts: iron core, HTS windings, current lead, and cryostat. In the electromagnetic optimization of the 330 kVA HTS transformer windings via finite element method, the influence of winding configurations on the radial magnetic field and the current nonuniformity are considered. The details about the design and optimization of radial magnetic field will be discussed in this study.
