Abstract

Recent extensive electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical testing of a 20 MVA superconducting generator provided valuable insights into the feasibility of applying cryogenic technology to future large-size central power plant generators. The test setup is shown in Figure 1. The rotor is a uniquely designed liquid helium (LHe) dewar with encapsulated NbTi superconducting racetrack windings encased in an aluminum support system.
