Popis: This paper provides a review on the most recent applications of superconductors in rotating electrical machines. The main types of superconductors for the present-day electrical applications are shown to highlight their main features. The main characteristics of superconducting synchronous machines, DC machines and induction machines for marine and vehicle propulsion, future electric aircraft, wind energy and industrial applications are discussed by presenting data of prototypes and demonstrators. The paper aims to raise awareness among researchers and engineers on the importance of superconductivity to enhance the performance of conventional electrical machines.
