The EcoSwing Project

The goal of the EcoSwing project is to build the world's first MW-scale superconducting generator for wind turbines. We report on the main features of the machine's design; on the assembly of its superconducting rotor, including the cryostat and the rotating GM-based cooling system; and on...

Description
Summary:The goal of the EcoSwing project is to build the world's first MW-scale superconducting generator for wind turbines. We report on the main features of the machine's design; on the assembly of its superconducting rotor, including the cryostat and the rotating GM-based cooling system; and on the preliminary results of the ground-based test campaign that was executed prior to the upcoming field test.
