Superconductivity News Update

OCTOBER 2007

The Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability’s mission is to lead national efforts to modernize the electric grid, enhance the security and reliability of the energy infrastructure, and facilitate recovery from disruptions to the energy supply. To support this mission, the DOE’s superconductivity program supports HTS power cable and fault current limiters technology development in an effort to modernize the electric grid.

For the past several years, Superconductivity News Update has provided, on behalf of the DOE’s superconductivity program, news and educational information concerning superconductivity products. Our mission has been to educate and inform individuals on the benefits of superconductivity. In the past, our issues have focused on research milestones, DOE/private company news, superconductivity cable project statuses, and whatever newsworthy related information was available. However for this issue we would like to take a different approach. Instead of the normal newsletter, we would like to discuss what may be an unfamiliar superconducting product; fault current limiters (FCL).
