Abstract
This paper studies the peak armature and peak field winding currents for three different topologies of 10 MW partial high temperature superconducting generators (HTSGs) under short-circuit conditions (SCC) by simulation. The investigated partial HTSGs employ copper armature windings and superconducting field windings with different armature and rotor topologies, i.e., iron-cored armature and rotor, air-cored armature and rotor, and iron-cored armature and air-cored rotor. For each HTSG topology, the investigation includes: 1) the field winding current control strategies; 2) the influence of operating field current; and 3) the ratings of circuit breakers for limiting the peak armature and peak field winding currents. The results can provide guidelines for determining the peak armature and peak field currents of HTSGs and also the possibility of limiting them by employing circuit breakers under SCC.
