Invited Oral Presentation

High-speed fully superconducting (SC) machines for aerospace applications need to achieve high power density while reducing losses. To increase the power density and eliminate core losses, an inside out synchronous machine is proposed with the iron yoke replaced with actively shielded coils. The additional coils are placed radially outward to contain the flux within the machine. Since core...

887. M2Or3A-02 [Invited]: AC Loss of Superconducting Materials- refined loss estimates for very high density motors and generators for hybrid-electric aircraft: MgB2 wires, Coated conductor tapes and wires

Invited Oral Presentation

Superconducting winding are enabling for the development of the highest power density motors and generators for aircraft use. It is presently estimated that motors with normal conducting can reach a future limit of at best 20 kW/kg. On the other hand, superconducting winding are estimated to be able to produce more than double this, at 45 kW/kg. Superconducting windings carry very large...

1101. M2Or3A-03 [Invited]: Cost, weight, and AC Loss Minimization, for a Fully Superconducting 6.5 MVA Traction Transformer for High Speed Rail

Invited Oral Presentation

Electrification of transport is a growing trend. Air transportation presents some unique challenges for electrification and these challenges have driven the demand for faster electric rail transport. The CRRC Fuxing high speed train is one example of technology being developed, and tested, to be able to operate at 600 km/h. There is a demand to both increase speed, and number of passengers,...
