Finite Element Analysis of the Transient Characteristics of a Superconducting A.C. Generator |
| Abstract |
This paper deals with the analysis of the transient characteristics of a superconducting a.c. generator(SCG) using Finite Element Method. Since the magnetic field induced by the field current and the armature currents are not sinusoidally distributed in a generator, the conventional equivalent circuit method, in general, uses the fundamental component only and is done in frequency domain. But the finite element analysis makes it possible to analyze the transient magnetic field distribution and the electrical characteristics of the double shields of SCG in time domain. |
