POSCO and the Research Institute of Industrial Science and Technology developed a 10-kW superconducting synchronous generator using high-temperature superconducting wire. The generator consists of four-pole racetrack-type superconducting coils using GdBCO wire for rotor and 24 slots copper windings for stator. The rated power of the generator was 10 kW at 600 r/min, and the operating temperature was 30 K by thermosyphon cooling method using liquid neon. The output power was measured when the generator was connected to a vector motor, and the detailed results were discussed in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
