Cryogenic Efficiency & Losses in AC Power Machines Dr. Philip Sargent MIM MBCS CDipAF CEng. Diboride Conductors Ltd.
Cost of Capital – when the superconductor is costly Lower capital costs, Expensive capital Lower running costs, Cheap capital, Cheap superconductor
Generators, Transformers, Cables, FCLs, Motors, Grid conditioning, power storage Capital cost is most important for all of these in deregulated power markets Why superconductors? Higher power density, 100x the current Smaller Lighter (MgB2 is 1/3 the density of Copper) Cheaper to buy and install Cheaper to operate Entirely new capabilities (FCLs) Engineering Needs
HyperTech CTFF for MgB2 CONTINUOUS TUBE FORMING AND FILLING (CTFF)

Magnetic Fields 2-5 T(except cables) AC use requires T > 20 K (cryogenic cost) Materials parameters: Low cost: ~ 10 $/kA.m Practical volumes: Je (Jc 105A/cm2 ) Low AC losses: W/kA.m at 50Hz. Flexible, low Je / strain sensitivity Materials Requirements
Copper: 6 – 22 $/kA.m (400 to 100 A/cm2) Bi2223: 100 – 25 $/kA.m (2002 – 2005) Targets Dick Blaugher, NREL
