Abstract :
High temperature superconductor (HTS) technology, which can provide a large electromotive force in a small area due to its larger current density than a normal conductor, can reduce the weight and loss of a generator, relative to a conventional machine . Moreover, once the HTS conductor has stabilized, the challenge of cooling the windings in large-scale generators can be resolved . Therefore, the technology has been studied for application to 10-MW class superconductor wind-turbine generators.
