Abstract

A small research and study committee, composed of corporations in the industrial/governmental/academic fields, was established, and a feasibility study of HTS synchronous machines (HTSMs) was carried out. Promising application fields for HTSMs were considered and their applicability was studied. Fundamental designs of these HTSMs were then carried out using a specially developed design program, and their merits and demerits were clarified. As key components, HTS field coils and refrigeration systems were examined closely, and technological problems related to their development were studied.
