High-temperature superconducting energy storage technology
High-temperature superconducting energy storage technology for new diversified power systems Abstract:
High-temperature superconductors are now used mostly in large-scale applications, such as magnets and scientific apparatus. Overcoming barriers such as alternating current losses, or high manufacturing costs, will enable many more applications such as motors, generators and fusion reactors.
There are three potential applications for superconducting magnetic energy storage devices, Pulsed power. These are discussed below. There is the possibility that superconducting magnetic energy storage could fill the same needs as pumped hydroelectric storage or large-scale battery energy storage.
Broader applications of LTSs have been hindered by the need to cool them with liquid helium (at or below 4.2 K). High-temperature superconductors (HTSs) (1) that can operate at liquid nitrogen temperatures (between 65 and 80 K) promised ubiquitous applications that could escape the constraint of LTSs.
Developments in HTS manufacture have the potential to overcome these barriers. In this Review, we set out the problems, describe the potential of the technology and offer (some) solutions. High-temperature superconductors are now used mostly in large-scale applications, such as magnets and scientific apparatus.
