Abstract
The potential of superconductivity for high current density and high magnetic fields has given rise to efforts to develop superconducting ac generators throughout the world. Superconductivity affords the only known means of substantially increasing power density while simultaneously reducing electrical losses in rotating electrical machines. Initially, development efforts were concentrated on small-scale component tests ; the focus has now shifted towards larger-scale demonstrations of technical feasibility. This paper surveys recent changes in the status of the development of superconducting ac generators. The ongoing development program in the author's Company is reviewed
