The company's superconductors division manufactures high-temperature superconductor wire and coils designs and develops HTS products such as power cables, fault current limiters and motors.
Superconducting fault current limiters (SCFLs) have worldwide applications for connecting the growing number of alternative energy systems to distribution networks and can also be used in heavily loaded industrial sites, especially ships with electric propulsion, and in areas such as Eastern Europe where old networks have to cope with growing loads.
L), the specialist manufacturer and developer of commercial applications for high-temperature superconductive (HTS) materials, has signed a contract to evaluate its fault current limiter technology for use in Project HYDRA, which is aimed at protecting the electric grid of New York City.
