Many organizations are developing compact lightweight highly efficient rotating machines for airplane applications. These machines include permanent magnets for excitation and iron-core with and without superconducting windings. Air-core (no magnetic iron) machines have the potential to be most lightweight and efficient. Such machines can use superconductors for both DC excitation field coils...
Energy to Power Solutions (e2P) in collaboration with the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is developing a new Superconducting Series-type Hybrid Circuit Breaker (SS-HCB) concept for dc fault protection. The Ss-HCB is fundamentally different from other prior-art hybrid circuit breakers (HCB) or solid-state circuit breakers (SSCB) in the literature. The SS-HCB conducts its primary load...
Superconducting electrical machines have emerged as an enabling technology for electric propulsion applications, and there are several ongoing efforts to develop these machines. The NASA High-Efficiency Megawatt Motor (HEMM), Center for High-Efficiency Electrical Technologies for Aircraft (CHEETA), and Cryogen Free Ultra-High Field Superconducting Motor (CRUISE-motor) are at the forefront of...
