On January 21 2016 BTG filed a provisional patent application “Second Generation Superconducting Filaments and Cable”. The application abstract: A high-temperature superconducting filament and cable, and a method for manufacturing same. The substrate used to grow the superconducting layer is removed, and the exfoliated superconducting layer is coated with a protective layer, and then sliced…

Brookhaven Lab’s aFCL, developed by Vyacheslav Solovyov and Qiang Li of Brookhaven’s Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science Department, is a novel superconducting fault current limiter (FCL) that can transmit a large amount of electrical energy during the “on” state without any added conduction losses. FCLs are devices that protect grid equipment from fault currents.…

Second Generation Superconducting Cable with Exfoliated YBCO Filaments High Temperature Superconducting YBCO wire technology has a significant potential to become the wire of choice for Helium-free magnet systems. Helium-free magnet systems are attracting more interest as the world supply of Helium is depleted. Currently the wire is manufactured as a thin, 1 micron, superconducting layer…
