Title
Program on Technology Innovation: Transient Response of a Superconducting DC Long Length Cable System
Description
This report supports development of a superconducting, long-distance, high-power capacity DC transmission system configured with multiple taps such that power can be easily be injected from generating plants and removed to serve loads all along the cable. The technology that will enable the construction of such a system is based on so-called "voltage source converters." The superconducting cable used for transfer of the power will have zero dc conduction losses. These technologies, when commercially available, could make a high-voltage DC system perform in ways similar to present-day ac systems by facilitating tapping of the dc circuit. This would make DC more competitive with ac for high-power corridor applications.

Smart Grid: The Tuesday Topic - Smart Grid News - Grid Modernization and the Smart Grid

 THE TUESDAY TOPIC

If you could design your own smart grid demo, what would it look like?

Three new demonstration projects caught our attention - a smart grid effort in Albuquerque's business district, a rapid recovery transformer study in Texas and a trial involving low voltage current sensor technologies in the UK. They also got us to thinking: At this stage in the smart grid build out, if you could design a demonstration project, what would it entail? That's our latest Tuesday Topic; click for the details.
