Numerical Determination of Inductance of a SMES Device Using the Response Surface Methodology Applied on FEM Modeling

Abstract  The paper proposes the determination of the inductance of a Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) device with modular toroid coil based on a new 2-D FEM modeling using the response surface methodology (RSM) applied on 3-D FEM modeling. An earlier 2-D FEM modeling of a SMES device created in FEMM software is based on the assumption of the equality between … Continuă lectura Numerical Determination of Inductance of a SMES Device Using the Response Surface Methodology Applied on FEM Modeling
