In this paper we give a progress update on the cryogenic design for cooling a 20 MW class, partially superconducting generator with stationary field coils for offshore wind renewables industry. This is a continuation of an earlier program on a 10 MW system dating back ten years. Whereas this new power rating increase leads to a radial diameter expansion of the superconducting field coils from...
The high-temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage system (HTS-SMES) utilizes the superconducting coil (SC) to store the electric energy in the magnetic field, which has the advantages of high efficiency, fast response, infinite charge-discharge cycles, etc. Coupling SC (CSC) with two or more SCs made of different HTS materials can improve the utilization rate of HTS tapes, reduce...
Pulsed power loads such as high-field pulsed magnets and lasers require efficient sources of energy. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) has been investigated as a source of stored energy for a variety of applications. High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) allow SMES systems to operate at temperature higher than 20 K, making the required cryogenic systems simpler compared to the...
Hydrogen-Electric aircraft technologies require electric propulsors to achieve the goal for zero emission. Those electric propulsors are preferably superconducting with high current density, resulting in an increased power density. Propulsors can either be partially or fully superconducting. In this paper we show a cryogenic cooling concept feasible for indirect cold mass cooling in the above...
