Abstract
A coupled thermal electromagnetic finite element analysis has been used to numerically simulate the electromagnetic characteristics of an MgB2 SMES coil. Magnetic field distribution data and current density predictions of the numerical model were compared with the literature and with the superconducting properties of explosively consolidated MgB2 samples measured experimentally. The material Jc characteristics were determined by applying Bean’s critical state model on the material magnetisation measurements conducted on a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID).
