Summary
Rational design of a new generation magnesium diboride superconducting rotor coil suitable for offshore low-cost wind turbine generators. New developments in wind power technologies provide opportunities in the next decade to deliver renewable energy. The present and future low cost magnesium diboride superconducting technology, coupled with renewable energy sources, has the potential to provide a long-term solution to the energy crisis and global warming threat.
