Second-Generation High-Temperature Superconducting Coils and Their Applications for Energy Storage [electronic resource] /
Yuan, Weijia.author.
Second-Generation High-Temperature Superconducting Coils and Their Applications for Energy Storage addresses the practical electric power applications of high-temperature superconductors. It validates the concept of a prototype energy storage system using newly available 2G HTS conductors by investigating the process of building a complete system from the initial design to the ﬁnal experiment. It begins with a clear introduction of the related background and then presents a comprehensive design of a superconducting energy storage system that can store maximum energy using a limited length of superconductors. The author has created a modeling environment for analysis of the system and also presents experimental results that are highly consistent with his theoretical calculations.
Doctoral thesis accepted by the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
