DESCRIPTION:Salvatore Grieco\, Univ. Bologna\, I\nThis work consists in an
  analysis of the impact of HTS conductors in wind turbine generators.\nThe
  rotor and / or the stator windings were designed to be made in YBCO or Mg
 B2\, according to the generator topology. The electromagnetic physics gove
 rning the machine was simulated by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software\
 , FlexPDE\; then thousands of models was realized by Python.\nFinally\, th
 e most performing designs were selected by means of an optimum criterion c
 onsidering a simple aggregation of the generator mass active\, the stator 
 windings losses and the amount of superconductor needed. Trends of these o
 ptimization criteria and of some other relevant quantities with reference 
 to design parameters are shown in detailed plots.\nIndeed\, the investigat
 ion provided interesting clues regarding\, among the others\, the number o
 f pair of poles and the amount of superconductor employed characterizing t
 he best models.
