SUMMARYA superconducting generator is expected to be a next-generation machine due to its many advantages over a conventional generator. Super-GM has been promoting R&D of 70-MW-class superconducting model generators to verify the basic technologies required for the design and manufacture of a 200-MW-class superconducting pilot generator. Verification tests of the third model generator, quick response excitation type C generator, were finished in June 1999. The excellent characteristics as a superconducting generator were verified through the series of tests. We report main test results such as open and short-circuit test, loaded test, quick excitation test, negative-phase sequence overcurrent test, and sudden short circuit test.
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.
