Abstract

A 30 kVA superconducting generator has been designed, developed and successfully tested by the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI). The design is based on a 2-dimensional electromagnetic field analysis of cylindrical coordinates. The field winding of rotor has been wound with superconducting wire of NbTi alloy and tested after assembly with other rotor components. The stator has air-gap type armature windings, which produce higher terminal voltage, and a more sinusoidal voltage waveform than conventional iron cored machines. Steady-state open and short-circuit tests and lamp load tests have also been conducted. The results of these tests are given in this paper and compared with design quantities. Moreover, the cooling scheme and characteristics of the test system are included.
