Quench characteristics of rotor winding of superconducting generator in static and rotating conditions

Previously, we have developed a theory to statistically estimate the training characteristics of a superconducting coil considering stresses to the conductor, structure of the cross section and mechanical properties of the conductor. In this paper, we estimate quench characteristics of the rotor windings for the superconducting generator in static and rotating conditions of the rotor by applying our theory, and compare the theoretical data with the experimental results. The theory explains the experimental results.
