BEYOND STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGIES FOR POWER AC CORRIDORS AND MULTI-TERMINAL HVDC SYSTEMS (BEST PATHS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"A group of eight Transmission System Operators with a generator company, manufacturers and research organisations, propose 5 demonstration projects to remove, in 4 years, several barriers which prevent large-scale penetration of renewable electricity production in the European transmission network. The full scale demonstrations led by industry aim at proving the benefits of novel technologies cou ...

Development and field test of an efficient YBCO Coated Conductor based Fault Current Limiter for Operation in Electricity Networks (ECCOFLOW)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The project aims at developing a unique device for electricity networks: A superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) based on coated conductor YBCO tape (cc-tape) or 2nd Generation HTS tape. The general trend in Europe to a higher meshing of distribution networks and the rapid growing integration of renewable energy sources leads to an increase of the fault current level by every new installat ...

Improvement of Nat Efficiency by Superconducting current limiter for 110kV (INES-110)

Start date: Nov 15, 2006, End date: Oct 15, 2009,

Background One way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions produced by the energy sector would be to minimise energy losses in the distribution systems. A transformer including a switchgear is currently used to couple two 110 kV network sub zones. These transformers lead to energy losses and contain hazardous oils. Objectiv ...
