[L-MA-191] Prediction of Quenching Behavior in High-temperature Superconducting Coils
A broad range of fields are advancing the development and practical use of superconducting coils to reduce size and weight as well as increase the efficiency of various machines from nuclear fusion and MRI to power cables and maglev trains. Quenching is one major obstacle to the practical applications of superconducting machines, which happens when a section of coil transitions from a zero-resistance to normal-conducting state. That is why simulations to accurately predict the quenching behavior that can damage superconducting machines is vital.

This case study runs an overcurrent analysis of a no-insulation pancake coil that uses rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tape as a high-temperature superconductor to predict quenching behavior. The results pinpoint sections of coil that experience a temperature rise due to quenching and verify the current branching from the superconductor to copper layer to avoid those sections of coil.
