The application of superconductivity technology to electric power apparatus is very important from the viewpoint of energy saving. Especially, the superconducting generators using superconductors as the field windings have many merits compared with conventional generators. Super‐GM has been researching and developing 70‐MW‐class model machines since FY 1988 for a scheduled period of eight years, aiming at a 200‐MW‐class superconducting generator. This paper describes the basic specifications and designs of 70‐MW‐class superconducting generators by Super‐GM and also describes the propriety of these basic specifications and designs.
