Abstract
A superconducting synchronous generator (SCSG) is suitable for designing a large-scale wind power generation system, because of its lighter weight and higher torque as compared to conventional generators. This paper analyzes a 10-kW SCSG designed by the finite element method. The finite element method tool is used to evaluate the designed 10-kW SCSG, which has 16 double pancake coils of race-track type with coated conductor tape according to the component certification (IEC 60034) for a wind power generator. The results show several specific characteristics of the designed SCSG. The results can also effectively evaluate the SCSG for a wind turbine, before the scale-up design and fabrication of the generator.
