Statistical estimation of disturbance energy due to conductor motion in rotor windings of superconducting generator
In a previous work, we have derived a theory to statistically predict the stability characteristics by statistically estimating the size of the conductor motion. In this paper, we apply this theory to predict the stability characteristics of rotor windings of a superconducting generator. Quench tests of the model rotor for the 70 MW superconducting generator were conducted as a part of the activities of super-GM project. The theoretical results are compared with the test results and the agreement of both the results is reasonably good.<<ETX>>
