Book Synopsis Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of High-Temperature Superconductors for Future Grid Applications by : Buchholz, Alexander
Download or read book Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of High-Temperature Superconductors for Future Grid Applications written by Buchholz, Alexander. This book was released on 2022-07-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-temperature superconductors have distinct advantages compared to conventional conductors. Below their critical temperature, superconductors have immeasurably low ohmic losses. To maintain the superconducting state, superconductors require constant cooling. This study aims at identifying the environmental impacts of the application of superconductors in future grid technologies such as superconducting power cables.
