The effect of design parameters on the dynamic behavior of the superconducting alternators

The air-gap nature of a superconducting alternator coupled with the complex shielding system required to protect the superconducting field winding results in many of its significant parameters to vary considerably from that of a conventional alternator. The effects of these parameter values on the dynamic performance of the alternator are presented so that the effects of the resulting changes due to mechanical or screening considerations can be readily anticipated. These parameter sensitivity analysis results are presented for future use in optimal superconducting alternator design.<
