Design of HTS Magnets for a 2.5 MJ SMES

초록

A 600 kJ HTS SMES system has been developed for power system stabilization as a national project in Korea. Successful operating tests of the 600 kJ were recently completed. In this paper, a 2.5 MJ class SMES with HTS magnets of single solenoid, multiple solenoid and modular toroid type were optimized using a recently developed multi-modal optimization technique named multi-grouped particle swarm optimization (MGPSO). The objective of the optimization was to minimize the total length of HTS superconductor wires satisfying some equality and inequality constraints. The stored energy and constraints were calculated using 3-D magnetic field analysis techniques and an automatic tetrahedral mesh generator. Optimized results were verified by 3D finite element method (FEM).
