[Application Catalog] Superconducting rotating machines can generate powerful magnetic fields using a small and light structure while having almost no excitation losses. These types of machines have been highlighted as the core technology for the next-generation power devices expected to operate with extremely high efficiency. However, significantly low temperatures (several K) are essential when using low-temperature superconductors. Designs must incorporate cooling systems optimized for these temperatures. That is why precise loss evaluations are critical during the design stage.
This case study describes a quantitative loss evaluation for the field winding of a low-temperature superconducting generator that uses a superconducting analysis model.
