The advent of high-temperature superconductivity
created the opportunity for quantum leap in the
technology of large electric machines. HTS-based
motors and generators will be smaller, lighter, more
efficient, and less expensive to manufacture,
operate than conventional machines. The potentially
significant cost, size, weight and efficiency benefits of
superconducting machines will change the dynamics of
electrical machinery industry,This unique situation
leads to reduced manufacturing costs.
The initial use for HTS motors will likely in
transportation applications, particularly naval and
commercial ship (marine) electric propulsion, where
critical size and weight savings will provide key
benefit by increasing ship design flexibility. Electric
drive has already penetrated the cruise ship segment of
the market because of its marked advantages over
competing mechanical systems. The increased power
density and operating efficiency as well as other
benefits of HTS based marine propulsion systems will
significantly further expand the attractiveness of
electric propulsion systems, HTS motors are ideal for
use in pumps, fans, compressors, blowers, and belt
drives deployed by utility and industrial customers,
particularly those requiring continuous operation.
These motors will suitable for large process
industries such as steel milling, pulp and paper
processing, mining,chemical, oil and gas refining,
offshore drilling, and other heavy-duty applications.
