Benefits of SC motors
• High power density• High partial load efficiency• Low noise (air core)• Superior negative sequence capability• Excellent transient stability• Low synchronous reactance - small load angle• Low harmonic content• Cyclic load insensitivity• Low maintenance

Capital costs 1 MW machine
• Cryogenic systems are ~4-6 $/W (electric)• Cold-side losses are 50W+0.03 W/kW, so
for a 1MW motor are 80W at 27K, requires a 6kW (e) cryocooler if 8% Carnot eff.
• Thus cryogenics costs ~$40k since it must be priced to the peak load
• Energy saved > $7k a year• So a 6-year payback period. (NPV is worse)
Cryogenic arguments
• New work in neon cryogen systems seems sensible
• Conduction-cooled machine designs need exploring 20-24K and 27K-35K
• Thermal reservoirs need investigating• Reducing the capital cost of cryogenics is more
important than their efficiency for motor markets• Industrial markets for motors depend on
cryogenics costs more than on superconductor costs or properties – even at 77K.

Motor Markets
• Energy efficiency argument is true, but cost savings undermined by cryogenics capital cost.
• Market will depend on size and weight benefits.
• Manufacturing benefits of reduced size: production line instead of build in-situ but early adopters will be build to order
companies
• Transport applications, self-weight issues, volume (drag) issues.
Shipping
• $2 billion market in 20MW ships motors by 2010
• Reliability of cryogenics also an issue
• Superconducting generators too in due course
Superconducting Mag-Lev Trains ?
• Best for 330 – 500 km/h, 300-500km, acceleration
• Linear electric drive..
…or TGV and Eurostar ?
• Mag-lev in Shanghai uses conventional Cu/Fe
• Maybe the next time the Eurostar is re-engined, it will be with superconducting motors.
Thankyou

HPM & Crowd Control
• Directed Energy High Power Microwave, “progressive penalty munitions”• Eureka Aerospace proposes a novel approach for denying ground vehicles the entrance
to selected area by stopping them using a microwave system for stopping vehicles (MSSV).
• The proposed system consists of high power source, such as magnetron and suitable antenna to direct the microwave energy towards the vehicle and bring the vehicle to rest, without causing permanent damage to the vehicle or pose any danger to humans. The MSSV can be deployed in a variety of places including (1) an airborne platform such as helicopter…
• In March 2001, at its base in Quantico, Virginia, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) unveiled its latest non-lethal weapon. The Vehicle Mounted Active Denial System (VMADS) which works through a special transmitter that fires two second bursts of focused microwave energy that causes a burning sensation on the skin of people up to 700 yards away. The beam penetrates less than a millimetre under the skin, heating the skin's surface but causing no burn marks.
• High power, low volume, low weight generators; low loss electrical conductors, high Q cavities
