Demonstration of an advanced superconducting generator: Interim report, August 16, 1981--December 15, 1981
The objective of this program, ''Demonstration of an Advanced Superconducting Generator,'' is to demonstrate advanced concepts in a prototype superconducting generator. Starting in August 1976, concept study and analysis lead in December 1977 to the selection of concepts for the experimental generator. Continued analysis and design optimization of the selected concepts lead to a design selection for the 10 MVA experiment in November 1978. Iteration with detail design and the application of more accurate analyses resulted in a freeze of the ''fine tuned'' design in September 1979. By May 1980 all secondary design decisions had been made and all major components and materials had been ordered. By December 1980 the installation of the gas turbine prime mover and the helium refrigerator/liquefier had been completed and fabrication had commenced on the stator core and the armature of the experimental generator. Work during this reporting period has been concentrated on the fabrication of the generator and on component development and testing.
