A Numerical Method Coupling the T-A Formulation for Dynamic Resistance Computation in HTS Coated Conductors

High temperature superconducting coated conductor carrying direct current (DC) presents a dynamic resistance under an external perpendicular alternating current (AC) magnetic field, which is far more than the E-J relation measured in a steady field and varies with the frequency and amplitude of the external magnetic field. This study proposes a numerical method coupling T-A formulation and element equivalent shunt circuit equation. Numerical results of dynamic resistance have been compared to previous experiments, T-A formulation using power law E-J relation and an analytical equation. The comparison shows a strong performance of our method across a wide range of frequencies and field magnitudes, including both high and low-frequency regimes.
