In the framework of 'Flightpath 2015' the European Union set ambitious goals for the aviation sector. Compared to a typical new aircraft of the year 2000 the goals for reduction of CO2 and NOx greenhouse gas emissions were set to 75% and 90% per passenger kilometer, respectively. Aircraft movements during taxiing should be emission-free and the anticipated noise reduction of a flying aircraft...
Second Generation High Temperature Superconducting (2GHTS) power systems are being developed for a variety of applications including the electrical power grid, industrial applications, data centers, high energy physics, electric ships, and electric aircrafts. There are some common requirements and design features for HTS devices for all the applications. However, the design requirements for...
Next generation electric power systems require higher capacity, efficiency, and stability to meet the demands of increasingly complicated grid systems. High-temperature superconducting (HTS) Conductor on Round Core (CORC®) power transmission cables provide unique solutions by offering high operating currents and current densities in a very small cable cross-section, which can also...
A scalable process has been developed to fabricate low AC loss cable from second generation high temperature superconducting (2G HTS) coated conductors with an emulated Rutherford twisted conductor topology. The process uses an indexed tape design to precisely align separate YBCO tapes to form a single tape structure making it compatible with a reel-to-reel production process and involves a...
