High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) for Energy ApplicationsAuthor(s): Ziad Melhem\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Woodhead Publishing Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780857090126, 978-0857090126\nSynopsis\nHigh temperature superconductors (HTS) offer many advantages through their application in electrical systems, including high efficiency performance and high throughput with low-electrical losses. While cryogenic cooling and precision materials manufacture is required to achieve this goal, cost reductions without significant performance loss are being achieved through the advanced design and development of HTS wires, cables and magnets, along with improvements in manufacturing methods. This book explores the fundamental principles, design and development of HTS materials and their practical applications in energy [url] one describes the fundamental science, engineering and development of particular HTS components such as wires and tapes, c.
