HTS Dynamo Flux Pump: The Impact of a Ferromagnetic Stator Substrate

Applied Physics 2023-10-23 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

HTS dynamo magnetic flux pumps are perspective devices for contactless charging the superconductor magnets and coils. In this work, we investigate the influence of a ferromagnetic substrate of a coated conductor used as the pump stator. We use the thin shell model of a coated conductor with a ferromagnetic substrate and show that such a conductor increases the pump-generated voltage if the superconducting layer is between the rotor and the substrate. Chebyshev spectral method is employed for numerical solution. Using simulation results for problems with a given transport current we also derive a simple analytical description for feeding a current to a coil.
