2314011 – Superconducting Power Systems

As the superconducting materials become increasingly mature and powerful, using superconductivity in a variety of applications of electrical engineering is of rising interest and benefit, too. This module focuses on Superconducting Power Systems. It will provide an overview of the state of the art, will give an insight into the basic setup, the design, the characteristic parameters and the specific operation behaviour of the following applications: · Power Transmission Cables and Lines · Motors and Generators · Transformers · Fault Current Limiters · Magnetic Energy Storage · Basics of Cryo Technology For each application a design example is shown and the focus is given on the conceptual design of each application
