Facing the requirements of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) synchronous condenser application, this dissertation is focused on key issues such as HTS magnet technology, rotor helium gas circulating cooling circuit, and superconducting magnet thermal stability during rapid excitation adjustment. Main research work includes: 1. The design and fabrication process of $\rm RE_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7?δ}$ (REBCO, RE:Rare Earth) rotor magnet. To avoid the risk of REBCO coated conductors damage caused by epoxy impregnation, this dissertation proposed a paraffin impregnation process to replace the epoxy impregnation process. A distributed helium-gas tube conduction cooling structure was designed to improve the cryogenic performance of the epoxy-free impregnation magnets and a magnet module was fabricated and tested to verify the new fabrication process and cooling structure. 2. The design method of rotor low-temperature helium circulating cooling circuit was studied from two aspects: how to reduce the flow resistance of rotor cooling pipeline and how to enhance the flow resistance of the return path of the helium rotating transfer device. On the one hand, parametric studies of pipeline structures regarding the thermal resistance and flow resistance were carried out, and the design method of rotor cooling pipelines was proposed; On the other hand, the method of enhancing the flow resistance in the return path was studied and the helium rotating transfer device was developed according to the study. 3. A synchronous condenser rotor based on REBCO conductors was developed and assembled in a 300 kvar high-temperature superconducting synchronous condenser (HTSSC). The cooling testing and electrical performance testing of the rotor magnet were carried out. The results showed the rotor magnet was cooled below 30 K, and the output power of the machine reached nearly 100 kW with a transport current of 200 A at 1500 rpm. During the rapid excitation experiment, the magnet was successfully ramped from 170 A to 200 A in 1 second at 1500 rpm. Based on the above research, the main innovative achievements of this dissertation include:1. The epoxy-free impregnation method for REBCO magnet was proposed, which could be used to avoid the risk of conductors delamination caused by epoxy impregnation at cryogenic temperature. The technical feasibility has been verified in the magnet module testing and the 300 kvar HTSSC testing.2. The design method of the rotor low-temperature helium gas circulating cooling circuit was established, and the key device--a low-temperature helium gas rotating transfer device was developed, which enabled the low-temperature helium gas bidirectional rotating transfer between the rotor and the static cryogenic unit, and maintained the thermal stability of the rotor magnets in the 300 kvar HTSSC prototype during rotating excitation tests.3. A high-temperature superconducting rotor based on REBCO conductors was successfully developed and applied in the 300 kvar HTSSC prototype. Through the rapid excitation testing at high rotation speed, the feasibility of applying REBCO conductors in the synchronous condenser field was verified.
