ComEd Will Install World's Largest Superconductor Cable in Chicago - 0 views

  • The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, however, has other ideas about what a resilient grid might look like. As part of its aptly named Resilient Electric Grid, or REG, project, DHS is giving $60 million to AMSC and Commonwealth Edison to install a high-temperature superconductor cable to increase the resilience of ComEd’s system in Chicago.

World's longest superconductor cable - 0 views

  • The world’s longest superconductive cable and the first to have been integrated into an urban electricity grid has celebrated six months of flawless operation, fuelling hopes of the energy industry for future lossless energy transport.

The road to the 'next theory of superconductivity' - 0 views

  •  
    "High-temperature superconductors have been a thriving field of research for almost 30 years, not just because they can conduct electricity with no losses-one hundred degrees higher than any other material-but also because they represent a very difficult and interesting "correlated-electron" physics problem in their own right."

Advances in Superconducting Technologies for the Energy Sector - 0 views

  • To improve energy efficiency, companies are increasingly researching into new methods of reducing losses during energy transmission and generation. High-temperature superconductors (HTS) have been ranked amongst the most effective technologies being developed. Besides this, the growing trend towards new power generation sources and smart grids are the main market drivers for superconducting components such as cables, generators, and storage systems.

Superconducting Bi-2212 wire that has five times higher current and will enable superconducting magnets with over 30 Tesla - 0 views

  • Bi-2212 stands out as the only HTS (high temperaure superconductor) that can be fabricated as a round wire. This makes Bi-2212 a perfect candidate for winding cables and coils without significantly changing present magnet technology.

MagLab researchers make superconducting breakthrough - 0 views

  • “We want to see this process used,” Larbalestier said. “We want to build lots of magnets out of Bi-2212, get the wire cost down, useable lengths way up and make Bi-2212 the precursor of new generations of round, twisted, multifilament, high-temperature superconductor wires that will be revolutionize superconducting applications.”

At the edges Stanene is like a room temperature superconductor - 0 views

  • "The key difference is that with a normal conductor, the total resistance scales linearly with the length -- the longer the wire the larger the resistance," said Zhang. "But for stanene the only resistance is the contact, so the total resistance of a line is constant regardless of the wire's length."

Non-uniformity of coated conductor tapes - 0 views

  • Non-uniformity of superconductor properties, e.g. a critical current reduction close to the edge of a coated conductor (CC) tape could degrade its performance in some power applications.

High-performance MgB2 superconducting wires for use under liquid-helium-free conditions fabricated using an internal Mg diffusion process - 0 views

  • Thus, it is hoped that MgB2 can not only replace metallic superconductors, but can be used under liquid-helium-free conditions, for example, at temperatures of 10–20 K that can easily be achieved using cryocooling systems.

LS Cable eyes global superconductor power market - 0 views

  • The deal, to be announced on Wednesday, is the latest sign of Asian companies’ ambitions to lead global markets for clean energy technology. LS, one of the world’s largest power cable suppliers, is buying up to 3m metres of superconducting wire, more than the total now in use worldwide, to make cables to sell in world markets.
