The unavoidable ac losses in the windings of pulsed power system components such as generators and transformers impose constraints on the use of superconductors for these applications and sometimes make the use of cryogenically cooled conventional conductors more cost effective. High temperature superconducting (HTS) materials, such as the recently discovered ceramic compounds, promise an extended range of trade-off options in the winding design parameters which could lead to a broader range of attractive applications than their classical low temperature superconducting (LTS) counterparts, such as NbTi and Nb/sub 3/Sn. Some recent parametric analyses conducted on a series of alternative baseline designs of 5 to 50 MVA pulsed ac generators with LTS, HTS and cryo-cooled windings are discussed with emphasis on the influence of operating temperature from liquid helium to liquid nitrogen coolant system design, conductor configuration, and consequent energy economics of the machine. These are related to the projected performance of a novel conductor concept presently under development.
