Dynamic control of large-scale high-T/sub c/ superconducting synchronous motor

This paper deals with the control strategy and dynamic simulation of the large-scale high-T/sub c/ superconducting synchronous motor fed by an auto-sequentially commutated inverter. The auto-sequentially commutated inverter for the high-T/sub c/ superconducting synchronous motor drive takes into account the commutations between thyristors, and the effect on the high-T/sub c/ superconducting field windings is considered in the control strategy. For accurate prediction of the machine characteristics, the motor simulator was designed to provide an effective design tool that will allow to rapidly and easily simulate the high-T/sub c/ superconducting synchronous motor system.
