Editor’s note: This material development has potential to improve grid stability and efficiency, characteristics important to the wind industry. SuperPower Inc. supplied its second generation (2G) high temperature superconducting (HTS) wire to the Applied Materials, Inc. superconducting fault-current limiter (SFCL) system to be installed for on-grid testing at the Knapps Corners substation owned and operated…

Editor’s note: This is a significant announcement because successful superconducting equipment would allow building smaller generators with higher outputs than current technology allows for wind turbines. This is a step in the right direction. Superconductor Technologies Inc., a developer and producer of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials and associated technologies, says it has recently received…
