Summary and Power Density Comparison HTS Motors are multi-phase synchronous machines with active field control, large airgap, and the flexibility to utilize a variety of drives. HTS wire used in the actively cooled rotor is presently 1G; starting migration to 2G wire The 36.5 MW motor is based on experience from multiple HTS electric machines. The ONR 5 MW motor provided the basis for the components used in the 36.5 MW motor. The program is on track to deliver a high power density75 metric ton motor to the Navy in September of this year. The rotor has been tested and the stator assembly is almost complete. No load testing at the NGC Philadelphia facility this summer. HTS is also applicable to generators.
