ABSTRACT
TThe article presents a simulation of a low power superconducting HTS generator conducted in the FEMM 4.2 software. The simulation model of generator was built and it takes into account of static and dynamic conditions thanks to the use of the LUA programming language. The use of the LUA programming language made possible to study the influence of the angle of the skew of permanent neodymium magnets on the shape and value of the generated output voltage. The influence of the angle of the skew of magnets on the distribution of magnetic induction in the air gap of the generator and the cogging torque value was researched. The angle of the skew of magnets was chosen to obtain a sinusoidal waveform of the output voltage of the generator. Based on the simulation results, a model of the low power superconducting generator was built and placed in a liquid nitrogen. The measurements of the output voltage of the generator were made in no-load state. The simulation results were verified by measurements made on the model of superconducting generator. The measurement results allowed a comparison of the similarity of the output voltage waveform of the generator to a sinusoidal waveform.
