Transient stability analysis in Bi-2223/Ag superconducting tapes

This paper presents numerical results of the finite element method (FEM) with Bi-2223/Ag superconducting multifilamentary tapes in order to estimate the transient stability, and to find out the most suitable analytical model and the behaviors at normal transition of high-Tc superconductors. We investigated the analytical model and the normal transition in the longitudinal direction using the three dimensional FEM and in the transverse direction using the two dimensional FEM and compared these with the case of low-Tc superconductors.
