Opis: Superconductors in the Power Grid

Superconductors offer high throughput with low electric losses and have the potential to transform the electric power grid. Transmission networks incorporating cables of this type could, for example, deliver more power and enable substantial energy savings. Superconductors in the Power Grid: Materials and Applications provides an overview of superconductors and their applications in power grids. Sections address the design and engineering of cable systems and fault current limiters and other emerging applications for superconductors in the power grid, as well as case studies of industrial applications of superconductors in the power grid. * Expert editor from highly respected US government-funded research centre* Unique focus on superconductors in the power grid* Comprehensive coverageIntroduction: The electricity power grid and the need for high temperature superconductors (HTS). Part 1 Materials: BSCCO superconducting cables and wires; Second generation coated superconducting cables and wires; Optimising flux-pinning in second generation superconductors. Part 2 Design and engineering: High temperature superconducting cable architecture; High temperature superconducting cable cooling systems; Measuring and modelling cable performance; Fault current limiters.
