All-Superconducting Wind Generators

Exclusively Licensed

A wind turbine generator includes a stator having a plurality of high-temperature superconducting coils. A current is driven through the high-temperature superconducting coils to produce a magnetic field. A rotor comprising one or more phase coils is physically coupled to a wind turbine. As the wind turbine turns the rotor, current is induced in the one or more phase coils to produce electrical power. The phase coils may include conductive material, superconducting material, and/or high-temperature superconducting material.
