Superconductor Technologies Inc (STI) exhibited its Conductus ® superconducting wire in SuperConductingCity at Hanover Messe World Trade Fair during April. Hanover Messe is believed to be the largest energy trade show worldwide, focusing on topics such as renewable and conventional power generation, power supply, transmission, distribution and storage. SuperConductingCity is the world's leading showcase for the superconductor industry. In electric generation and distribution applications, superconducting lines are much more efficient than conventional copper line systems because they can carry 100 times the current at practically zero resistance, incurring minimal losses. Superconductors lend themselves well to power engineering applications in areas such as ship propulsion systems, wind turbines, power distribution grids and superconducting current limiters for power grid protection.
