We proposed a linear type magnetic flux pump (LTMFP) as a power supply for superconducting magnet system. In order to explain the operating mechanism of pumping action, the pumping sequence based on penetrated position and moving speed of magnetic flux on the superconducting Nb foil should be understood. In this paper, we induced a theoretical equation for pumping current of LTMFP according to the position of normal spot and corresponding equivalent circuit. In addition, current charging tendencies under the intensity of magnetic flux and frequency were described based on the theoretical pumping equation.

We already obtained magnetic behavior of superconducting Nb foil of linear type magnetic flux pump (LTMFP) by means of the FEM analysis. As well as, fundamental equations of pumping current were theoretically derived based on the pumping sequences according to the position of normal spot of the moving flux. In this paper, we experimentally investigated pumping performances of LTMFP with a wide range of traveling speed of magnetic field. In order to confirm the numerical and theoretical approaches, we explained the pumping characteristics of LTMFP by use of the calculation sequence of pumping current.

We investigated an operating characteristic of linear-type magnetic flux pump (LTMFP) as a current compensator under the various conditions. In order to explain the mechanism of the LTMFP, the magnetic behavior of superconducting Nb foil according to pumping actions should be understood. In this paper, the magnetic field analysis of superconducting Nb foil installed in LTMFP has been performed based on the three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM). Through the simulation analysis, the normal spot region on the superconducting Nb foil is found to be enhanced swiftly over about 20 Hz. The simulated finding agreed with an analytical estimation based on the phenomenon of magnetic diffusion.

The linear type flux pump aims to compensate a little bit decremental persistent current of the HTS magnet in NMR and MRI spectrometers. The flux pump mainly consists of DC bias coil, 3-phase AC coil and Nb foil. The persistent current in closed superconductive circuit can be easily adjusted by the 3-phase AC current, its frequency and the DC bias current. In the experiment, it has been investigated that the flux pump can effectively charge the current in the load coil of 543 mH for various frequencies in 18 minutes under the DC bias of 10 A and the AC of 5 $A_{rms}$. The maximum magnitudes of pumping current and load magnet voltage are 0.72 A/min and 20 ㎷, respectively. Based on simulation results by the FEM are proved to nearly agree with experimental ones.

Inserted HTS (high temperature superconducting) coil is promisingly expected as a solution for achievement of higher fields such as GHz scale NMR magnet. However, HTS magnet causes persistent current decay in the persistent current mode and this decay should be compensated in order to keep stable magnetic field. As a solution for the decay in the HTS magnets, we proposed a new type superconducting power supply, i.e., linear type magnetic flux pump (LTMFP). The LTMFP mainly consists of DC bias coil, 3-phase AC coil and superconducting Nb foil. The compensating current in closed superconductive circuit can be easily controlled by the intensity of 3-phase AC current and its frequency. In this study, it has been investigated that the flux pump can effectively charge the current for various frequencies according to the different load magnets.

본 연구에서는 초전도 전원장치의 비선형적인 충전특성을 이론적으로 해석하기 위해서 Radial Basis Function 뉴럴 네트워크를 적용하였으며 이를 바탕으로 초전도 부하 마그넷에 따른 충전특성의 경향을 해석하였다. 본 논문에서는 안정적인 충전전류를 발생시키고 충전전류를 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 리니어형 초전도 전원장치를 개발하였고, 극저온 시스템에서 충전전류 특성을 실험적으로 수행하였다. 이를 통해 초전도 전원장치는 초전도 선재(초전도 Nb 박막)를 사용하기 때문에 비선형적인 충전전류 특성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 일반적으로, 극저온에서의 실질적인 실험에 있어서 주변 환경에 따른 냉각 비용 문제 등이 대두되기 때문에 다양한 실험을 수행하는데 연구의 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 개발된 초전도 전원장치의 주파수에 대한 비선형적인 충전 특성을 기반으로 지능형 알고리즘인 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크를 통해서 그 결과를 예측하고 이에 대해서 지능 모델을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 사용된 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크에서는 효율적인 데이터 처리를 위해서 은닉층에 FCM 클러스터링 알고리즘을 사용하였으며, 클러스터의 수가 모델의 은닉층에서의 노드의 수가 되도록 설계하였다.

In order to explain the operating characteristics of LTMFP in a wide range of driving frequency, an analytical equation that takes into account the detailed behavior of the normal spot is necessary. In this paper, based on the phenomenon of magnetic diffusion of the superconductor we modified the theoretical equations for pumping action in LTMFP. The modified equations explained well the pumping actions under the different load magnets. These results are important to explain the pumping tendency of the LTMFP according to driving frequency.
