Superconducting machines are attractive for several industries; electric power utilities and industrial applications prefer higher efficiency and ease of operation; aerospace applications like compact lightweight and attractive efficiency; and wind-farm applications want high-efficiency, compact and lightweight generators.
Conventional machines are constrained to operate within saturation...
Because of low rotational speed, conventional ship propulsion motors are characteristically large, heavy and have poor efficiency. For direct drive propulsors, the drive motor is in line with the propulsor located at bottom of the ship hull. The V-shape hull usually has limited space for drive motors. Because of this, multiple motors are employed in line to drive a propulsor. Compared to...
Fully turbo-electric propulsion systems for e-aircrafts need fully superconducting generators and motors with lightweight, compactness and high efficiency. High stability and reliability are also required for safety. That forces us to utilize HTS tapes which can operate in liquid nitrogen. The most important issue to realize them is the AC loss reduction of the armature windings. In our...
