Abstract
In application of Superconducting magnetic energy storage device (SMES), current lead represents a key development component. This paper will focus on parameters and structure design of hybrid high-temperature superconductor (HTS) current lead in a SMES with 100 kJ/100 kW class. Based on the theoretical analysis, finite element simulation (FEA) has been used. It studies the thermal influence of variable cross-sectional area, HTS material and the connection between current lead and cryocooler. Some improvements have been proposed to reduce heat losses. At the end of this paper, a whole procedure about hybrid current lead design is given.
