Description
Electrification of energy, aviation and shipping requires lightweight, highly efficient electrical machines. Conventional permanent-magnet machines are difficult to scale to multi-megawatt wind systems while maintaining low mass, or to the power densities required for transport. The SuperMachine concept aligns the machine structure with the benefits of HTS materials and provides a highly modular architecture. This presentation covers experimental validation, modular cooling options and design studies for wind, aerospace and marine applications.
