Characterisation of Large-Sized REBaCuO Bulks for Application in Flux Modulation Machines.

ABSTRACT: High temperature superconductors (HTSs) are enablers of extensive electrification for aircraft propulsion. Indeed, if used in electrical machines, HTS materials can drastically improve their performance in terms of the power-to-weight ratio. Among the different topologies of superconducting electrical machines, a flux modulation machine based on HTS bulks is of interest for its compactness and light weight. Such a machine is proposed in the FROST (Flux-barrier Rotating Superconducting Topology) project led by Airbus to develop new technologies as part of their decarbonization goals driven by international policies. The rotor of the machine will house large ring-segment-shaped HTS bulks in order to increase the output power. However, the properties of those bulks are scarcely known and have
