Abstract :
General Electric, in conjunction with the US Department of Energy, has undertaken the design, manufacture and testing of a 100 MVA class high temperature superconducting (HTS) generator. The HTS rotor will be suitable for use in new generators as well as a retrofit product for existing generators. This paper discusses key areas of design and testing of the generator as first steps in the development of HTS synchronous generators
