Abstract:
Since 1990s, high temperature superconducting
(HTS) machine techniques have been gradually
developed. The developed HTS machines mainly
include DC machines, synchronous machines,
induction machines, linear machines, reluctance
machines, hysteresis machines, and permanent
machines. From the beginning of this century, the HTS
machines have made rapid developments and
significant achievements. HTS motors and generators
are summarized in this paper with regard to their
developments, advantages and prospect applications.
Keywords: High temperature superconductor (HTS),
HTS machines, HTS rotating motors, HTS generators,
HTS linear motor.
