Abstract

In a power grid, the superconducting power devices might also experience lightning impulse current except for the common over-currents. However, the study of the performance of YBCO tapes suffering a lightning current is scarcely reported. This paper mainly focuses on the influence of the substrate layer on the thermal stability of YBCO tapes suffering a lightning current. A numerical model which took into account both the thermal and the electromagnetic aspects was proposed. The validity of this model was verified by experiment. Based on this model, the influence of the dimension and material type of thesubstrate layer on the thermal stability were investigated in detail. The simulated results showed that the substrate layer could affect the temperature distribution on different layers, and stainless steel substrate layer is a more desired choice for decreasing the maximum temperature. Moreover, a theoretical explanation based on a simplified equivalent circuit was also used to study the influence of the substrate layer.
