• Large Superconducting Wind Turbine Generators 

      Abrahamsen, A.B.; Magnusson, Niklas; Jensen, B.B.; Runde, Magne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      To realize large (>10 MW) direct-driven off-shore wind turbines, a number of steps are needed to reduce weight and cost compared to on-shore technologies. One of the major challenges is to provide drive trains which can ...
    • Testing of an MgB2 coil for a wind turbine generator pole 

      Magnusson, Niklas; Hellesø, Svein Magne; Mikkonen, R.; Abrahamsen, A.B.; Runde, Magne; Berg, Gunnar; Nysveen, Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We report on the testing of a 1 m long and 0.5 m wide racetrack coil wound from 4.5 km of MgB2 tape-shaped superconductors with a copper strip soldered to the nickel matrix. The cross-section of the coil corresponds to ...
