Motors Employing REBCO CORC and MgB2 Superconductors for AC Stator Windings

Swarn S. Kalsi et al.

Summary: Future all-electric aircraft will use efficient and lightweight machines with superconducting excitation for power generation and propulsion. The CORC cable, with REBCO tapes, is a promising option for stator windings due to its ability to construct saddle coils, but it may have higher losses compared to other options like MgB2 stator windings.

Effect of Stack Geometry on the Dynamic Resistance Threshold Fields for Vertical Stacks of Coated Conductor Tapes

Justin M. Brooks et al.

Summary: This study discusses the phenomenon of dynamic resistance in superconducting cables, specifically focusing on the threshold field for dynamic resistance in cables comprised of N tapes connected in parallel and stacked vertically. The finite element analysis results were compared with calculations using analytical models assuming a critical state, showing a close resemblance between the finite element data and predictions for a single tape rapidly tending towards the slab result as N increases.

Influence of Magnetic Iron Teeth in Motors Employing Superconductors for Field Excitation and AC Stator Windings

Etienne Rochepault et al.

Summary: This study examines the application of synchronous machines for electrically propelled planes and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of machines using superconductors, as well as the impact of iron teeth on the machine's efficiency, mass, and volume. The findings suggest that the inclusion of iron teeth increases total ac losses within the stator winding, and machines with iron teeth have higher losses, volume, and mass compared to air-core machines. Based on the results, it is recommended to avoid using iron teeth in these machines.
