This paper deals with finite element analysis of 2GVA superconducting generator which has slitted electrothermal shield in d-axis (SES). Three phase fault is considered torque of the S.C.G. Using the result, generator parameters are calculated by F.E.M. The results are compared with superconducting generator having conventional electrothermal shield (CES). The result shows that quick response excitation could be applied to superconducting generator with slitted electrothermal shield.

This paper introduces design processes of 10 MW class superconducting generator for wind Turbine. Superconducting generator can produce 5 times stronger magnetic field than permanent magnet at least, which enables large scale wind turbine to function as a lighter, smaller and more highly efficient system. These processes are targeted for higher efficiency and shorter high temperature superconductor (HTS) wires to fabricate 10 MW class superconducting generator. Three different approaches will be described in these design processes. First design process focuses on the number of rotor poles. Secondly, 270 and 360 A operating current of superconducting field coil can be adapted as a design parameter in this process. Lastly, 3 and 6 kV line to line voltage of stator coil will be used to design 10 MW class superconducting generator.

The superconducting generator has better efficiency, larger power, higher voltage, bigger power per weight ratio and bigger power per volume ratio than conventional machines. Furthermore, for the synchronous reactance of the superconducting generator is smaller than that of conventional ones, the capacity of power transfer is much larger than conventional machina. But, the low inertia constant of superconducting generator hurts the transient stability of power system. This paper deals with the comparisons of transient characteristics between superconducting generator and conventional generator by computer simulation.

This paper presents a method to estimate an effective length of a 1000-kVA superconducting generator using three-dimensional FE analysis. Flux linkage of stator coil and the induced voltage are calculated with FEM program and Faraday's law. An effective length of the stator coil is estimated using the calculated voltage and geometric configurationn of the machine. In order to verify the estimation method, 30-kVA superconducting generator is built and tested. The test result agrees reasonably well with the estimation.

This paper compares the features of second generation (2G) High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) field coil with those of magnesium diboride ($MgB_2$) field coil for a 10 MW class superconducting generator. Both coils can function effectively in their respective magnetic flux density range: 10-12 T for 2G HTS field coil, 2 T for $MgB_2$ superconducting field coil. Even though some leading researchers have been developing 10 MW class superconducting generator with 2G HTS field coil, other research groups have begun to focus on $MgB_2$ wire, which is more economical and suitable for mass production. However 2G HTS wire is still appealing in functions such as in-field property and critical temperature, it shows higher in-field property and critical temperature than $MgB_2$ wire.

The superconducting winding in rotor of a superconducting generator should be kept at extremely low temperature of 4-5 K to maintain the superconducting state. For this purpose the liquefied helium is used for the coolant and it is very important to analyze and design a cooling system making effective use of the coolant. In this paper, the typical heat exchanger of a superconducting generator with the flow passage is analyzed with regard to the thermal equilibrium. An experimental constant relevant to the flow condition in the flow passage is determined with heat exchange experiments in cryostat. Also a new heat exchanger with porous material is proposed and designed. Results of the numerical analysis for the temperature distributions for the torque tube and the coolant are reported and the efficiency of the heat exchanger is discussed from the viewpoint of amounts of coolant needed.

Superconducting windings of synchronous machine have to be operated in below the critical temperature, critical current density and critical magnetic field. If one of these characteristics does not satisfied, then the quench occurred in superconducting winding. Especially the armature current dramatically increased as the superconducting generator is short-circuited at the rated load condition and magnetic field in field winding increased due to the armature current. Therefore, damper is required to reduce the magnetic field of field winding which increases reliability of the superconducting generator. Damper dimension can be decided by time constant[1-2]. In this paper the basic model is high-power and low-speed superconducting generator. Damper time constant was calculated from the changed damper thickness and material. Magnetic flux of field coil at the basic model and changed damper time constant model is analyzed.

The inductive reactance losses of a superconducting current generator built at Case Western Reserve University has been analyzed. The calculations of the field in the spot make it possible to estimate the spot inductance as well as the filament inductance on the foil. It is shown that magnetic energy lost in switching the current is mainly due to the amplitude of the fluctuation in voltage associated with the inductive reactance losses of a superconducting current generator.

Superconducting Generator has different structure and characteristics from conventional generators. As a first step to designing a Superconducting Generator, this paper deals with 2D analysis models. The first model is non-slotted one and the second is slotted type. So this paper suggests the differences in 20 magnetic field analysis between two machines.
