Conventional direct current (DC) rotating machines are usually used for crane and press machine using high torque in metal and steel industries, because of a constant output power along variable rotating speed. A general DC motor with permanent field magnets could not increase a magnetic flux density at a gap between armature coils and field magnets. However, a superconducting DC motor has field magnets composed with high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils and it could increase the magnetic flux density at the gap to over 10 times than those of a general DC motor by control the excitation current into HTS coils. The superconducting DC motor could be operated with extremely high torque and constant output power at a low rotational speed. In this paper, a 500 W superconducting DC rotating machine was conceptually designed with a LN₂ (Liquid Nitrogen) cooling method and the operation characteristics results of HTS field magnets were presented. The two no-insulation HTS magnets for a 500 W superconducting DC rotating machine were fabricated. The excitation current for the HTS magnets could be controlled from 0 to 40 A. This test results will be available to design large-sized HTS magnets for a number of hundred kW class superconducting DC rotating machine under LN₂ cooling system.

기존의 전기 모터는 큰 중량과 부피의 단점으로 항공기 적용에 적합하지 않다. 고온 초전도 (High-Temperature Superconducting: HTS) 모터는 전류 밀도와 자기장 밀도가 높으며 손실이 적어 일반 전기모터와 비교하여 크기와 무게를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문은 미래 항공기 전기 추진용 HTS 모터의 개념 설계 및 해석 결과를 제시한다. 회전속도가 7,200 RPM인 2.5 MW 용량의 HTS 모터를 설계하고 무게 대비 출력 비(kW/kg)를 분석하였다. HTS 모터 계자코일 (Field Coil)의 운전온도는 LH₂ (Liquid Hydrogen) 냉각을 고려하여 20K을 선정하였다. 고정자 권선 (Stator Winding)은 다상 구성 (Multi-Phase Configuration)으로 연결하였고 와전류 (Eddy Current) 손실을 최소화하기 위해 Litz 선을 사용하였다. 결과적으로 모터의 무게 대비 출력 비는 약 18.67 kW/kg으로 기존 모터보다 훨씬 높음을 확인하였다.

The high temperature superconducting bulk can be used as the bearing of induction motors. This paper presents the fabrication and test results of an induction motor with superconducting bearings using HTS bulks. The bearing had eight hexahedron type YBCO bulks. Height, width and thickness of the HTS bulk were 30mm, 30mm and 10mm, respectively. Single phase induction motor was used to drive the shaft made of aluminum and the rotor of a conventional induction motor. To estimate the performance of the HTS bulk magnetic bearing, no load test, load test and Impact test were carried out. Load tests were performed by using air resistance caused by the shaft-mounted thin cylinder with buckets. Impact tests by axial direction and vertical direction impact showed that the vibration of the shaft gradually decayed. The induction motor with HTS bulk magnetic bearing rotated silently and smoothly throughout the tests. According to the test results, conventional bearings can be replaced with superconducting magnetic bearings made of HTS bulks.

This paper presents the construction and test results of an HTS induction motor. End rings and short bars were made of HTS tapes, To increase the efficiency and starting torque, HTS tapes can be used as the rotor bars. Because large current is induced in the rotor circuit, HTS tapes quench and high starting torque can be obtained. As the speed of rotor builds up. HTS tapes which are used as short bars become superconducting state again. After the HTS tapes recover from quench, resistance of the rotor circuit is nearly zero. In that case, power loss in rotor circuit is eliminated. Stator of the conventional induction motor was used as the stator of the HTS motor. Rated capacity of the conventional motor was 0.75 kW. Performances of the HTS induction motor were compared with those of the conventional motor with same volume and specification. Test result showed that the speeds of the HTS induction motor were the same with synchronous speed up to 2.6 Nm and 1.788 rpm at 9.7 Nm. It guarantees the high efficiency of the HTS motor. Starting torque of the HTS motor was more than twice of the conventional motor.

This paper deals with High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Motor, which have two characteristics: the HTS magnet with iron plates as field coil, and the solid nitrogen $(SN_2)$ as a cryogen. The HTS magnet has iron plates to achieve the maximum current-carrying capacity and the simple shape that can easily be wound and jointed. The HTS magnet with iron plates, magnet optimized current distribution, and initial magnet are presented through 3 Dimensional Finite Element Analysis (3D FEA), manufacturing and testing these magnets. And, it is employed $SN_2$ for keep the operating temperature of HTS synchronous motor. To make the liquid nitrogen $(LN_2)$ of $SN_2$, Gas helium (GHe) passes into the heat exchanger and cools its own temperature. Two types of heat exchangers are designed and manufactured to make the $SN_2$, and each of the temperature characteristics is compared.

The value of I$_{c}$(critical current) in HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) tape has a great influence on B(equation omitted) (magnetic field amplitude applied perpendicular to the tape surface). Therefore, I$_{c}$ of HTS magnet is determined by not only operating temperature but also the B(equation omitted). In shape design of field coil for the HTS motor, a method to reduce the B(equation omitted) and to determine operating current should be considered in order to optimal design. On the basis of the magnetic field analysis, this paper deals with various field coil shape to obtain operating current of HTS motor by using analytical method. And also this paper discusses the operating current of 100hp class HTS motor by using I$_{c}$-B(equation omitted) curve.curve.

The superconducting motor shows several advantages such as smaller size and higher efficiency against conventional motor especially utilized in ship propulsion application. However, this size reduction merit appears in large capacity more than several MW. We are going to develop a 5MW class synchronous motor with rotating High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) coil. that is aimed to be utilized for ship propulsion so it has very low-speed, The ship propulsion motor must generate very high electromagnetic torque instead of low-speed. Therefore. the rotor (field) coils need very large magnetic flux that results in large amount of expensive HTS conductor for the field coil. In this paper a 5MW HTS motor for ship propulsion is considered to be designed with construction cost reduced via HTS field coil cost reduction because HTS conductor cost is critical factor in the construction cost of HTS motor. In order to reduce the HTS conductor amount. iron-cored rotor types are considered. so several cases with iron-core are compared one another and with an air-core case.

Superconducting field coils using a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires with high current density generate high magnetic field of 2 to 5 [T] and electromagnetic force (Lorentz force) acting on the superconducting field coils also become a very strong from the point of view of a mechanical characteristics. Because mechanical stress caused by these powerful electromagnetic force is one of the factors which worsens the critical current performance and structural characteristics of HTS wire, the mechanical stress analysis should be performed when designing the superconducting field coils. In this paper, as part of structural design of superconducting field coils for 17 MW class superconducting ship propulsion motor, mechanical stress acting on the superconducting field coils was analyzed and structural safety was also determined by the coupling analysis system that is consists of commercial electromagnetic field analysis program and structural analysis program.

Motors with HTS wires or bulks have been developing recently. Those are large synchronous motor with HTS wires at the field winding in the rotor, hysteresis and reluctance motors with HTS bulk in the rotor. This paper presents the fabrication and test results of an HTS induction motor. Conventional end rings and short bars were replaced with HTS wires in the motor. Stator of the conventional induction motor was used as the stator of the HTS motor. Rated capacity and rpm at full rotor of the conventional motor were 0.75[kW] and 1,710[rpm]. Two, HTS wires are used in parallel to make the end rings and bars. The critical current of the BSCCO-2223 HTS wire which was used in the bars and end rings were 115[A]. Electrodynamometer was coupled directly to the shaft of the rotor with HTS wires.
