      Abstract = {In recent years, commercial high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials have gained increasing interest for their use in applications involving large-scale superconductor systems. These systems are typically made from hundreds to thousands of turns of conductors. These applications can range from power engineering devices like power transformers, motors and generators, to commercial and scientific magnets. The available analytical models are restricted to the analysis of individual tapes or relatively simple assemblies, therefore it is not possible to apply these models to the study of large-scale systems and other simulation tools are required. Due to the large number of turns, the simulations of a whole system can become prohibitive in terms of computing time and load. Therefore, an efficient strategy which does not compromise the accuracy of calculations is needed. Recently, a method, based on a multi-scale approach, showed that the computational load can be lowered by simulating, in detail, only several significant tapes from the system. The main limitation of this approach is the inaccuracy of the estimation of the background magnetic field, this means the field affecting the significant tapes produced by the rest of the tapes and by external sources. To address this issue, we consider the following two complementary strategies. The first strategy consists of the iterative implementation of the multi-scale method. The multi-scale method itself solves a dynamic problem, the iterative implementation proposed here is the iterative application of the multi-scale method, and a dynamic solution is obtained at each iteration. The second strategy is a new interpolation method for current distributions. With respect to conventional interpolation methods, a more realistic current density distribution is then obtained, which allows for a better estimation of the background magnetic field, and consequently a better estimation of the hysteresis losses. In contrast with previous works, here we do not only focus on the estimation of the hysteresis losses, but also the estimation of the current density distribution is addressed. This new method is flexible enough to simulate different sections of the system with a better level of detail while providing a faster computational speed than other approaches. In order to validate the proposed method, a case study is analyzed via a reference model, which employs the H -formulation of Maxwell's equations and includes all the system's tapes. The comparison, between the reference model and the iterative multi-scale model, shows that the computation time and memory demand are greatly reduced. In addition, a very good agreement with respect to the reference model, both at a local and global scale, is achieved.},

      Abstract = {Three superconducting stacks made of 120 REBCO coated conductor tapes were each fabricated and assembled to obtain several REBCO modules. Their levitation responses over two different permanent magnet (PM) guideways were investigated by experiment and finite element simulation. For the experiment, a test rig was developed that can measure the force in the three directions for any given relative movement between the REBCO stacks and the PM guideway. For the finite element simulation, a 2D H -formulation was adopted. To treat the high aspect ratio of REBCO tapes, an anisotropic homogenization technique was used. The agreement between the measurements and the simulations is good, thus validating the modeling methodology. It was observed from the experiment and simulation results that the perpendicular field contributes to the levitation force whereas the parallel field is responsible for the guidance force, as a result of the existence of anisotropy on the local magnetic stimulation. Based on that, promising REBCO modules including both longitudinal and transverse arrangements of REBCO stacks were proposed and tested, in terms of providing a significant levitation force with the lateral stability preserved. Moreover, a pre-load process able to suppress the relaxation of the levitation force was put forward. To conclude, this study outlines explicit principles to obtain an appropriate layout of coated conductor stacks that could be effective for practical magnetic levitation operation.},

      Abstract = {The modeling of superconducting magnetic bearings (SMBs) is of great significance for predicting and optimizing their levitation performance before construction. Although much effort has been made in this area, there still remains some space for improvements. Thus the goal of this work is to report a flexible, fast and trustworthy H -formulation finite element model. First the methodology for modeling and calibrating both bulk-type and stack-type SMBs is summarized. Then its effectiveness for simulating SMBs in 2D, 2D axisymmetric and 3D is evaluated by comparison with measurements. In particular, original solutions to overcome several obstacles are given: clarification of the calibration procedure for stack-type and bulk-type SMBs, details on the experimental protocol to obtain reproducible measurements, validation of the 2D model for a stack-type SMB modeling the tapes' real thickness, implementation of a 2D axisymmetric SMB model, implementation of a 3D SMB model, and extensive validation of the models by comparison with experimental results for field cooling and zero field cooling, for both vertical and lateral movements. The accuracy of the model being having proven, it now has a strong potential for speeding up the development of numerous applications including maglev vehicles, magnetic launchers, flywheel energy storage systems, motor bearings and cosmic microwave background polarimeters.},

      Abstract = {A-V and H are two of the most widespread formulations applied in the literature to calculate current distribution in high-temperature superconductors (HTSs). Both formulations can successfully solve problems related to large-scale HTS applications, but the way to implement the calculations is different. In recent years, several authors have chosen the H formulation to solve problems related to HTS applications. This choice can probably be attributed to the easy implementation of the H formulation with the aid of commercial finite element method (FEM) software, producing precise results and performing fast calculations. In a previous work, we proposed the use of the H formulation to solve superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) problems. However, most of the SMB simulations presented in the literature are solved using the A-V formulation implemented with the finite difference method (FDM). Which of these two techniques is more suitable for superconducting magnetic bearing applications? This paper aims to answer this question. In order to do so, an experimental rig was developed to test SMBs using YBCO bulks or stacks of coated conductors. The simulated levitation force results from the A-V formulation using FDM and from the H formulation using FEM were compared with the experimental data. In general, the calculation time and the results error obtained with both formulations are comparable. It is worth mentioning that the main contribution of this paper is to present improvements to reduce the A-V formulation computational time and details of how to implement it using FDM in any platform. For this reason, most of this work is about the A-V formulation, while the H formulation is just presented for comparison.},
