A design concept for large superconducting alternators

Abstract
The necessity for system damping and fault survival have imposed requirements on superconducting alternators not considered in earlier studies. These requirements impinge mostly on the rotor shielding system, and seem to indicate a two-component rotor damper/shield. Projections of machine size and performance indicate that even with the new requirements, superconducting machines retain their projected advantage over conventional machines.
