Abstract :
The discovery of high temperature superconductivity sparked renewed interest in its application to power transmission and distribution systems. There are several technical bottlenecks that need to be overcome prior to the widespread use of superconductivity in power systems. There are also several key cross-cutting technologies that impact many different applications, such as efficient refrigeration systems, materials developments, and in several cases power electronics.
