Military and commercial applications need 1–5 MW capability in a portable high-power-density electric power generation package
Superconducting technology offers the highest entitlement for power density of the generator
HTS generator has been developed by GE for the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL).

The stationary field coil does not experience the large centrifugal forces that a rotating coil would be subjected to.
More reliable HTS coils can be produced based on BSCCO or YBCO coated conductor technology
The cryostat of the coil is stationary. There is no need for a transfer coupling to introduce a cooling medium into the rotating cooling circuit
There is no need for a ‘slip-ring’ assembly to transfer current to the coil from a stationary exciter
There is no need to consider rotating brushless exciters

The power density of the HTS homopolar inductor alternator design is not as high as that of fully air-core designs
The low full-load ampere-turn requirement of the stationary HTS coil greatly simplifies the development of this coil.
Vacuum is used to thermally insulate the coil Total heat load of 40 W. This refrigerator load requires a single-
stage GM cold head with 75 W capacity at 25K

ampere-turn requirement, and core losses
A full 3D electromagnetic model has been built to understand the behavior and optimize the detailed design
Eddy currents are not considered directly Analysis was performed in two ways:
Static 3D model with imposed armature currents, and field excitation
