| Popis: | A brief survey is presented of the potential applications of superconductive devices to electric power systems. Areas of principal interest include high-capacity transmission, energy storage, and power generation by rotating machinery, magneto-hydrodynamics and nuclear fusion. Some elements of superconductivity are discussed, including the properties of appropriate materials; these superconductive devices vis-a-vis the conventional counterparts in terms of reduction of power losses, decreased weight and size, and increased current capacity. An assessment is made of the time frame and the possibilities for introduction of superconductive devices into power systems. |
