HTS motors and generators have some advantages over LTS machines because of higher operating temperature. Very low temperature nakes LTS machines need higher refrigeration cost and large facilities. However, HTS machines are expected to be comparable with conventional counterparts at smaller machine ratings than LTS generators in terms of efficiency and size. As the operating temperature increases, the magnetic flux density generated by HTS field coils decreases relatively. For example, 1000hp HTS synchronous motor developed in a few years ago has maximum field density of 1.5T. At this point, magnetic material used in conventional machines is able to pass magnetic flux easily with high permeability. In order to investigate the effect, we arranged magnetic core only inside of magnet vessel of a 100hp target machine. By way of FEM analysis, we concluded that the magnetic core can reduce amount of expensive BSCCO conductor so much.

This paper proposes a new fuzzy speed control method based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy method of permanent magnet synchronous generators(PMSM) for variable-speed wind turbine systems. The proposed fuzzy speed controller consists of the control terms that compensate for the nonlinearity of PMSG and the control terms that stabilize the error dynamics. The conditions are derived for the existence of the proposed speed controller, and the gain matrices of the controller are given. The proposed control method can guarantee that the PMSG can effectively track the speed reference which is calculated through the MPPT control and can reduce the fluctuations of the generated power under even fast random wind conditions. To verify the performance of the proposed fuzzy speed controller, the simulation results are demonstrated.

Generally, internal parameters of the motors and generators can be divided to the resistance and inductance components. They can become a cause of the changing internal parameters because they have sensitive characteristics due to external conditions. The changed parameters can generate the outputs which include error values from the speed and current controllers. Also, it can bring the temperature increase and mechanical damage to the system. Therefore, internal parameters of the motors and generators need to obtain their values according to the external conditions because it can prevent the mechanical damage caused by the changed parameters. In this paper, the off-line parameter identification method is verified using the Goertzel algorithm. The motor used in the simulation and experiments is an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), and the proposed algorithm is verified by the simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents the shape optimization to minimize the BEMF(Back Electro-Motive Force) harmonics of PM type synchronous generators. RSM(Response Surface Methodology) is used to find the optimal solution. We used the 2D-Finite Element Method to obtain the observed data of the BEMF and SQP(Sequential Quadratic Problem method) is used to solve the constrained nonlinear optimization problem.

In power system, the study on synchronous generators is an important issue. Among the studies, reactive power control of synchronous generators is very important from the viewpoint of power system stability. In this study, we develope a classical generator model and a power factor regulation model applying a simple algorithm in order to control reactive power generation, using EMTDC.

This paper presents a new gain scheduling speed controller of permanent magnet synchronous generators(PMSG) for MW-class direct-driven wind turbine systems. The proposed gain scheduling speed controller performs the speed tracking at more than one operating point, and the first-order torque observer estimates the turbine torque which is needed to precisely control the speed of PMSG. The proposed speed controller verifies that the PMSG can successfully follow the reference speed which is determined via the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control and pitch control under turbulent wind conditions. The proposed speed control algorithm is simulated using Simulink and its performance is confirmed through comparison with the results by PI control method.

High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) synchronous generators can be designed with either an air-core type or iron-core type. The air-core type has higher efficiency under rated rotating speed and load than the iron-core type because of the iron losses which may produce much heat. However, the total length of HTS wire in the air-core type is longer than the iron-core type because the generated magnetic flux density of the air-core type is low. This paper deals with designs of 10 MW air-core and iron-core HTS wind power generators for wind turbines. Fully air-core, partially iron-core, and fully iron-core HTS generators are designed, and various stator winding methods in the three HTS generators are also considered, such as short-pitch concentrated winding, full-pitch concentrated winding, short-pitch distributed winding, and full-pitch distributed winding. These HTS generators are analyzed using a 3D finite elements method program. The analysis results of the HTS generators are discussed in detail, and the results will be effectively utilized for large-scale wind power generation systems.

Generally large synchronous rotating machines with 2 poles have more merits than the others with more than 2 poles Superconducting synchronous rotating machines also have the same tendency, but they have different structure from conventional ones because of no magnetic core inside of the rotor. As the result, design approaches of the superconducting field coils are also different, which would be classified into 2 types according to their coil shapes. The first one is race-track type and the other is saddle type Race-track type machines have almost the same structure with conventional salient pole generators which are being used as largely small scale machines with more than 2 poles. On the other hand saddle type machines correspond to conventional cylindrical generators with 2 poles used for large turbine system in power plants. In this paper several types of superconducting field coils are introduced for 2 pole superconducting machine design and then the feasibility of each type is considered. Moreover, based on the consideration. 1MVA superconducting generator(S.G.) with saddle type field coil is designed electromagnetically.

When grid voltage is unbalanced, the grid-connected output current and power of Virtual Synchronous Generators (VSGs) are distorted and quadratic. In order to improve the power quality of a grid connected to a VSG when the grid voltage is unbalanced, a comprehensive coordinated control strategy is proposed. The strategy uses the positive sequence current reference command obtained by a VSG in the balanced current control mode to establish a unified negative sequence current reference command analytical expression for the three objectives of current balance, active power constant and reactive power constant. In addition, based on the relative value of each target's volatility, a comprehensive wave function expression is established. By deriving the comprehensive wave function, the corresponding negative sequence current reference value is obtained. Therefore, the VSG can achieve the minimum comprehensive fluctuation under the premise that the three targets meet the requirements of grid connection, and the output power quality is improved. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by simulation and experimental results.

It is common knowledge amongst electrical and marine engineers that short-circuit in electrical system may cause large mechanical torque on generator and prime mover However, it is not so widely known that the faulty synchronizing of generators may cause even higher torques than that of short-circuit. In this study, the transient phenomena related to the parallel running of synchronous generators are analyzed and the exact computer simulation method is proposed. In result, maximum transient torque and current take place in case of $120^{\circ}$ voltage angle difference between Master and Slave and that may develop higher torque than the short-circuit according to a condition of synchronizing. When synchronizing in power system using only two generators higher torque and current occur Master, but using multimachine system those occur to Slave. The short-circuit of marine generator does not happen frequently but faulty synchronizing sometimes takes place, therefore, it is necessary for designers to consider these phenomena.
