Optimized energy transmission with superconducting materials

In grid technology, superconducting materials are revolutionizing the way in which electrical energy is transmitted and distributed. Superconducting cable systems and coatings enable almost loss-free energy transmission over long distances, which significantly increases the efficiency of power grids. The compact and lighter generators are extremely resistant to overloads and thus improve the stability of the power grid, both at full and partial load. These technologies not only offer economic advantages, but also contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Superconductor applications – examples

Thanks to their special properties, high-temperature superconductors have the potential to revolutionize numerous industries and technologies.

Example: grid technology in Munich
The first commercially used HTS high-voltage cable with a length of 12 km has been constructed in Munich. It can transmit up to eight times more electricity than conventional underground cables and requires even less space. This is because superconductors can be laid close together, whereas copper cables generate heat and have to be spaced further apart. When it comes to laying the cables, this means that narrower trenches are sufficient and traffic disruptions are reduced. The superconducting cables, including the cooling channel and insulation, are no thicker than conventional ones and can therefore be pulled through existing infrastructure.

Including, among others, areas such as:

Production facilities: In industrial production, superconducting motors enable increased efficiency and performance, making machines and production facilities faster, more reliable, and more energy efficient.

Aerospace: Superconducting motors can reduce the weight and size of propulsion systems in aircraft and spacecraft, resulting in higher payload capacity and improved fuel efficiency.

Marine propulsion: Superconducting elements can improve the efficiency of marine propulsion, increasing their economic viability.

Magnetic levitation trains (maglev): Superconducting propulsion systems in maglev trains enable higher speeds, better energy efficiency and low-wear, low-maintenance operation.

High-speed trains: HTS technology can improve the propulsion efficiency of high-speed trains and reduce energy consumption.

These transportation technologies can be particularly attractive for the following areas of application:

Internal transportation: In large manufacturing plants or production facilities, such as in mining, maglev systems can be used to transport materials and products between different areas of the plant.

Transportation under cleanroom conditions: Contactless transportation in the cleanroom of medical or electronic semiconductor highly sensitive products.

Automated production lines: The technology can also be used in high-precision manufacturing processes where a vibration-free environment is required.

Aerospace technology: In the aerospace industry, Maglev technologies can be used to develop take-off and landing facilities for spacecraft or as part of test facilities for aerospace components.

Public transportation: Maglev systems provide a fast and environmentally friendly alternative for local and long-distance transportation and can efficiently connect city centers, suburbs and outer regions.

Port and warehouse applications: In large port facilities or warehouses, maglev systems can be used to transport containers and goods quickly and without contact.

Superconducting elements can provide decisive advantages in the following areas:

Wind turbines: Superconducting generators in wind turbines can increase their efficiency and reduce the size of the turbines, which is particularly advantageous in offshore wind farms.

Turbines: In hydroelectric power plants and other renewable energy sources, superconducting generators can increase power density and improve efficiency.

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES): This technology can be used for the rapid storage and release of energy to compensate fluctuations in the generation of solar and wind power.

Solar power plants: Superconducting elements can increase the efficiency of the conversion of solar energy into usable electricity, which improves the overall performance of solar plants.
