OSTI ID:5240136

The goal for the high temperature superconductivity energy systems program is to promote energy efficiency by carrying out a program of research and development of high temperature superconducting electric power equipment technologies. Research efforts shall emphasize activities that address near-term technical projects such as the development of superconducting materials; improving the efficiency of materials performance at higher temperatures and at all magnetic field orientations; and assisting the private sector with designs for more efficient electric power generation and delivery systems for the commercial marketplace which are cost competitive with conventional energy systems.
