INTRODUCTION
SUPERCONDUCTOR-:
Asuperconductor is a material that can conduct
electricity or transport electrons from one atom to another
with no resistance.
Super conductor can be classified by their critical temperature
Low-temperature superconductors or LTS: those whose
critical temperature is below 30 K. ex-: lead and mercury-common
LTS , other LTS are Ti , Zr , V etc .
High-temperature superconductors or HTS: those whose
critical temperature is above 30 K. ex-: YBCO , LSCO , BSCCO
The core of an electric power system is

the generation.

Since superconductors have noDC
resistance they typically have
greaterefficiency.
SUPER CONDUCTING AC
GENERATOR
The superconducting ac generator has the
greatest potential for large-scale
commercial application of
superconductivity that can benefit the
public.
Superconducting synchronous generators
with a superconducting adjustable field
rotor keep power losses to a minimum
since the field in the stator is phase-locked
in synchronism with the rotating rotor field.
Historical perspective
The earliest work on superconducting generators
was done in the U. S. in 1964 -1966
The first rotating superconductor field coil was
shown to be practical in 1971 by an MIT group.
In 1977, manager in charge of superconducting
projects at EPRI, Mario Rabinowitz initiated two
competing superconducting generator programs
at Westinghouse and General Electric.
In 1994, the U.S. Department of Energy

funded General Electric to design a 100 MVA HTS
synchronous generator and build a full-scale HTS
racetrack coil using BSCCO or TBCCO
PRINCIPLE
Works on electro magnetic induction
The windings of Super Conducting generator are
able to support a more powerful magnetic field
as compared to that of conventional generators.
The superconducting generators have a coil
cover for the coil to support it when under
centrifugal force and a damper for protection
against high frequency magnetic field.
The core is made of non-magnetic stator core
plus a stator coil made of copper.
Advantages of superconducting
ac generator
They could greatly reduce both
capital and operating costs.
They would increase grid stability.
They could be used for var
generation.
Disadvantages of superconducting
ac generator
The cooling system has greater cost, size, weight and also
complications.
Once the superconductors exit their superconductive state
the generator at once stops working.
Chances for instability of the rotor speed are also greater.
Either the motor bearings should be separate from the
cold rotor or it should be able to tolerate the decreased
temperature.

Discovery & Commercialization

Many advanced technology races for
the electric power industry are being
run all over the world in both basic
research and for commercialization.
In the race for fundamental knowledge,
the United States has traditionally been
at the forefront of scientific discoveries.
However the race for commercialization
has not always been so successful.
CONCLUSIO
N
The emergence of a technology is a function of both
its potential and of resources put into its development.
A well-designed superconducting generator can
represent a beautiful optimization between competing
and often conflicting electrical, economic,
thermal,reliability, and mechanical requirements.
the superconducting generator leads in
potential because of its small surface to volume ratio
i.e. it is relatively compact; and
because the superconductor is operated in the dc
mode.
