This work focuses on implementing HTS bulks in the excitation circuit of low-speed synchronous generators as permanent magnets. In addition to the implementation study, it is also addressed to remagnetize HTS bulks in electric generators. To reduce the maintenance costs and time required for the magnetization process, an in-loco remagnetization is used. The HTS bulks are magnetized in their position inside the machine's magnetic circuit. A pulse-field magnetization (PFM) technique is used, using the stator coils of a linear generator. YBCO and GdBCO samples are tested. The experimental procedure starts with the in-loco PFM to magnetize the HTS bulks and, by applying an oscillatory movement to the linear generator's moving part, measuring the magnetic flux density induced voltage is done. Experimental tests show that, for the FeSi core used in the generator, the YBCO material is most suitable for the excitation circuit.
