Abstract
This invention relates to a method of controlling and a control system (100) for a superconductive rotating electric machine (200) comprising at least one superconductive winding (102; 103), where the control system (100) is adapted to control a power unit (101) supplying during use the at least one superconductive winding (102; 103) with power or receiving during use power from the at least one superconductive winding (102; 103), wherein the control system (100) is further adapted to, for at least one superconductive winding (102; 103), dynamically receive one or more representations of one or more actual values (110, 111)of one or more parameters for a given superconductive winding (102; 103), each parameter representing a physical condition of the given superconductive winding (102; 103), and to dynamically derive one or more electrical current values to be maintained in the given superconductive winding (102; 103) by the power unit (101) where the one or more electrical current values is/are derived taking into account the received one or more actual values (110, 111). In this way,greater flexibility and more precise control of the performance of the superconducting rotating electrical machines is obtained since control is enabled that takes into account an actual or current state of the superconductive winding(s).
