Abstract

Numerical studies on AC loss characteristic of a assembled conductors of multiple HTS tapes with high aspect ratio simulating YBCO tape in polygonal arrangement were presented in this paper. We developed a numerical model to analyze the AC loss in the HTS tape in the polygonally assembled conductor based on our previously developed model. The relations between the geometrical configuration and the AC loss properties of the conductor were made clear by the numerical simulation. The numerical results give the important information for the design of the cable conductor assembled by the HTS tapes with high aspect ratio such as YBCO tapes
