High 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 precisionmaterials manufacture is required to achieve this goal, cost reductions without significant performance loss are being achieved through advanced design, development and manufacture of HTS equipment. This book explores the fundamentalscience and engineering of HTS components - such as wires and tapes, cables, coils and magnets - and reviews the energy applications these materials are used in, from power systems and rotating machinery to fusion and accelerator technologies ÍNDICE: Part 1 Fundamental science and engineering of high temperature superconductor (HTS) materials and components: Fundamental issues in high temperature superconductor (HTS) materials science and engineering; High HTS wires and tapes; HTS cables; Bulk HTS materials; HTS magnets; Cryogenics for HTS systems; Electromagnetic modelling of HTS materials and applications. Part 2 Application of HTS materials and components in energy systems; Superconducting faultcurrent limiters and power cables; Superconducting magnetic energy storage systems (SMES); Application of HTS technology in rotating machinery; HTS in fusion technologies; HTS in accelerator systems
