MATLAB Implementation of an HTS Transformer-Rectifier Flux Pump Using HTS Dynamic Voltage Switches

Thispaper proposes a novel approach to the modelling of HTS transformer-rectifier flux pumps that can charge HTS magnetic loads without the need for bulky current leads or expensive cryogenic requirements. The model was built in MATLAB/Simulink for a flux pump with 2 HTS switches, an HTS transformer with a primary inductance of 15 mH, secondary inductance of 50 µH and an HTS magnetic load with an ...
