The EU-funded EcoSwing project aims at demonstrating the world's first superconducting low-cost and lightweight wind turbine generator. This generator will use field coils based on second generation (2G) HTS wire which are manufactured using Pro-Line HTS tapes. During the development subscale test coils with different number of turns were produced and tested in liquid nitrogen as well as...
High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) generator for a large-scale wind power generation system draws much attention as a contemporary research item. Excitation systems in HTS generators, particularly brushless HTS exciters are a new challenge.This paper deals with the performance analysis of a 10 kW HTS wind power generator with brushless exciter and examines application possibility of the...
Outside of the application field of (scientific) particle accelerators, in the applications area of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, demanding modules similar to accelerator magnets are developed and used: high field accuracy, high power levels (for high productivity), ultra-high vacuum regimes (EUV lithography), very limited outgassing and particle contamination (contamination of...
Compact, lightweight and large-scale generators are desired for offshore wind energy application due to transportation and installation requirements. In order to reduce the levelized cost of wind energy, larger and larger wind turbines are under researches and superconducting wind generators are proposed as they have high power density and light weight. Due to the expensive price of the...
A high precision superconducting levitation system for gravity measurement has been developed which used the levitation of a superconducting sphere by the magnetic field of two superconducting coils. The magnetic levitation is designed to provide independent adjustment of the levitating force and the force gradient. A GM cryocooler is employed to cooldown the system. This article reviews the...
