Design and Simulation Analysis of HTS Wind Generator

Abstract

With the development of high temperature superconductor (HTS) material, countries all over the world have shown great attention in HTS generator over the theoretical research and application. In this paper, a 3MW high temperature superconductor wind generator has been designed by using the RM and Maxwell 2D module of FEM software Ansoft. This design use the second generation HTS material YBCO bulk to be the permanent magnet. It break through the capability limitation of the traditional permanent magnet generation. Based on the FEM simulating, calculating and changing the parameter, the data of the HTS wind generator has been shown, such as magnet line of force, magnetic-field distribution and so on. Compared with the traditional permanent magnet generation, the HTS wind generator has a strong superiority in various aspects.
