Book Description
The trend towards larger power ratings of wind turbines asks for innovations in power generation, which requires lower weight and cost, smaller size, higher efficiency and reliability. Due to high current-carrying capability and no DC losses of superconductors, a superconducting wind generator can have a superior power to weight/volume ratio with high efficiency. The work in the book mainly focuses on the feasibility study and design of a superconducting DC wind generator.

AC Losses in High-Temperature Superconductor Tapes and Cables for Power Applications
Author: Godfrin, Aurélien
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731510960
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
This work focuses on two topics. The first is the investigation of producing filaments on copper-stabilized coated conductors, with striations made after or before electroplating the tape. The second topic is the applicability of the striations for reducing the AC losses of cables, in particular the CORC® and RACC cables, which are made with high-temperature superconductor (HTS) striated tapes.

Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
A design process for HTS DC cables was developed for high current applications. Based on the design process, a 35 kA HTS DC cable demonstrator was developed. The superconducting elements of the demonstrator were manufactured and tested individually at 77 K. Afterwards, the demonstrator cable was assembled and tested at 77 K. The assembled demonstrator successfully reached 35 kA at 77 K and self field conditions.

Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of High-Temperature Superconductors for Future Grid Applications
Author: Buchholz, Alexander
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731511940
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
High-temperature superconductors have distinct advantages compared to conventional conductors. Below their critical temperature, superconductors have immeasurably low ohmic losses. To maintain the superconducting state, superconductors require constant cooling. This study aims at identifying the environmental impacts of the application of superconductors in future grid technologies such as superconducting power cables.

Fluorescent thermal imaging method for investigating transient effects in high-temperature superconductor tapes and coils
Author: Gyuráki, Roland
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731510642
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
This work presents the development and application of high-speed fluorescent thermal imaging for quench analysis in high-temperature superconductors (HTS). Using a fluorescent coating, with a temperature-dependent light emission, temperature changes can be calculated over 2D surfaces. The technique uncovered peculiar transient effects in novel HTS tape architectures and also helped to verify and better understand hot spot development in both insulated and non-insulated, HTS–wound pancake coils.
