Abstract

We have studied a 10 MW class fully superconducting synchronous machine for direct-drive wind turbine generators. This machine has been designed using two kinds of superconducting wires. Multifilament wires have been used for armature windings. The DC field coils of the machine rotor are made of HTS tapes. Electromagnetic design of the generators has been carried out by FEM analysis. Analysis results show that 10 MW output is achievable with less use of HTS tapes than wind turbine generators having superconducting field coils and copper armature windings. Then, calculated AC losses are low.
