A Numerical Study on the Energization of the Field Coils of a Full-Size Wind Turbine with Different Types of Flux Pumps

High temperature superconductivity is emerging as a solution for lightweight, cost-effective and high-power wind generators. Current injection and maintainment/sustainment in the field winding are obtained by metal current leads which, due to persistent heat conduction and joule loss, are responsibl...
