A superconducting synchronous generator consists of superconducting field winding, nonmagnetic multi-tubular rotor and airgap armature winding. The superconducting generator has the benefits of 1/2-2/3 weight reduction and 0.5-0.8% efficiency improvement compared with the conventional generator, and the economic crossover between them appears to be 0.5-1.5 GVA.
The problems discussed are (1) property, cooling and support of superconducting field winding, (2) thermal contraction of cryogenic torque tube, (3) tubular damper configuration, (4) seal of helium transfer coupling, (5) transposition, cooling and support of airgap armature winding, (6) vibration of the rotor.
