A Brief Emerging Tecnologies Overview

Electric Machinery

Technology: High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) Power Equipment.

Brief Description: Superconducting Power Equipment for Use in Wind Power Systems. For both motors and generators, High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) used for the field winding, while the armature winding is always made of copper. Transformers, power transmission cables, and fault-current limiters employing superconductors have been demonstrated worldwide.
