Superconductivity – Part of the Global Energy Solution

Superconducting technology has matured over the past quarter century and now is establishing a growing role in meeting the energy challenges of the 21st century. From efficient, power dense applications such as transmission lines for the smart grid or motors for industrial or transportation needs, to very low power quantum level devices for sensing and logic elements, superconducting applications are offering unparalleled performance capable of meeting our growing energy needs. Key to progress will be continued development of new materials and advanced development of materials targeted for specific applications. System designs stressing reliable, long term use that can compete economically with other technologies are a major focus of the superconducting industry as it grows its customer base.
