PhD Overview

At the current stage of development of superconducting electrical machines, it is necessary to develop and improve operational control and protection systems, for the further use of these machines in industry and maritime applications.

Development of a system for monitoring and analysis of the technical condition and protection against emergency processes in a superconducting machine is the most important question. The operational control is carried out using measuring means, methods of technical diagnostics during operation and carrying out tests and functional checks.
