AMSC has demonstrated a 36.5 MW (49,000 horsepower) high-temperature superconductor (HTS) electric motor for the United States Navy, and is developing a similar 10 megawatt wind turbine generator through its wholly owned Austria-based subsidiary AMSC Windtec. This would be one of the world's most powerful turbines.
Ceramic superconductors cannot be bolted or welded together to form superconducting junctions. Ceramic superconductors must be cast in their final shape when created. This may increase production costs. [citation needed] Ceramic superconductors can be more easily driven out of superconductivity by oscillating magnetic fields.
The Holbrook Superconductor Project is the world's first production superconducting transmission power cable. [1] The lines were commissioned in 2008. [2] The suburban Long Island electrical substation is fed by a 600 meter long tunnel containing approximately 155,000 meters of high-temperature superconductor wire manufactured by American Superconductor, installed underground and chilled to ...
Until now, American Superconductor (NAS: AMSC) has never seen its namesake products, superconducting wires, widely adopted in the marketplace. They're expensive and difficult to install but a new ...

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) are used to limit current under a fault in the grid. In this system a superconductor is quenched (raised in temperature) when a fault in the gridline is detected. By quenching the superconductor the resistance rises and the current is diverted to other grid lines.
A piece of cuprate of bismuth and strontium: this piece is a cube with an edge of nearly 1 mm. Bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide (BSCCO, pronounced bisko), is a type of cuprate superconductor having the generalized chemical formula Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca n−1 Cu n O 2n+4+x, with n = 2 being the most commonly studied compound (though n = 1 and n = 3 have also received significant attention).
Oregon electricity production by type. This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Oregon, sorted by type and name.In 2022, Oregon had a total summer capacity of 17,243 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 61,317 GWh. [2]
