The application of superconductivity technology to electric power apparatuses is very important from the viewpoint of promotion of energy saving and resource saving. Especially the superconducting generators using superconductors as the field windings have many merits compared with conventional generators. Super-GM has been researching and developing 70 MW class model machines since FY 1988 for a scheduled period of eight years, aiming at a 200 MW class superconducting generator. This paper describes the basic designs and the recent R and D situation of 70 MW superconducting generators by Super-GM.
