Abstract

The discovery of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) materials in 1986 by IBM has brought about revolution in applications in the field of electricity. The key power grid applications of HTS include power cables, fault current limiters, generators, motors, transformers, etc. Power cables carrying hundreds of megawatts have been successfully demonstrated and will change the complete scenario of bulk power transmission in the years to come. Other promising applications of HTS include high power wind turbine generators, ship propulsion motors, warship degaussing systems, magnetic resonance imaging magnets and current leads such as the ones used in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
