The increasing demand for renewable electricity is driving the deployment of larger and more powerful offshore wind turbines. Electrical machines employing second generation high temperature superconducting (2G HTS) field windings offer the potential for high magnetic loading, increased torque density and reduced active mass. However, conventional conductive energization of these 2G HTS...

AC loss in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) stator windings is a key constraint in fully HTS rotating electrical machines, as it directly determines the cryogenic cooling load and thermal management requirements. In practical operation, HTS stator windings are exposed simultaneously to rotating magnetic fields and AC transport currents. The resulting AC loss is therefore not simply the...

Superconductivity has the potential to be an enabling technology for future high-tech systems. Coils wound from commercially available superconducting (REBCO) tape are uniquely suited to produce high magnetic fields at high current densities. This has applications in varying fields from motors and actuators to plasma containment in fusion, from MRI and NMR to high-voltage power transport.
