    Superconductors
    A superconductor can conduct electricity without electrical resistance at temperatures above absolute zero. The change from normal electrical conductivity to superconductivity occurs abruptly at a critical temperature T c A superconductor is also able to exclude the surrounding magnetic field. This is known as the Meissner Effect. When a small, strong magnet approaches a superconductor, it induces a current in the superconductor. Because the current flows inside the superconductor without electrical resistance, the current induces its own magnetic field which can repel the magnet, producing a force to counteract gravity in order to levitate the magnet above the surface of the superconductor. Superconductors are used in medical instruments such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems.

    New research is unlocking the amazing potential of high-temperature superconductors.
    by Patrick L. Barry
    Image courtesy RTRI The experimental "maglev" train, currently being tested by Japan's Railway Technical Research Institute , uses "old fashioned" low-temperature superconductors that require liquid helium for a coolant. High-temperature superconductors can use liquid nitrogen instead, which is cheaper, more abundant, and easier to handle. Few technologies ever enjoy the sort of rock-star celebrity that superconductors received in the late 1980s.
    Headlines the world over trumpeted the discovery of "high temperature" superconductors (abbreviated HTS), and the media and scientists alike gushed over the marvels that we could soon expect from this promising young technology. Levitating 300-mph trains, ultra-fast computers, and cheaper, cleaner electricity were to be just the beginning of its long and illustrious career. Today we might ask, like a Hollywood gossip columnist: what ever happened to the "high-temp" hype?

    Superconductors
    Superconductivity is a phenomenon characterized by the disappearance of electrical resistance in various metals, alloys, and compounds when they are cooled below a certain level, usually termed the critical temperature (Tc). The phenomenon was first observed in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who noted that the resistance of a frozen mercury rod abruptly dropped to zero when cooled to the boiling point of helium (4.2 Kelvin). Onnes is also credited with realizing that a material in a superconducting state can be returned to its standard, nonsuperconducting condition through exposure to a strong magnetic field of a certain critical value or by passing a large current through it. For his significant findings, Onnes was awarded the 1913 Nobel Prize for Physics. Yet, another 20 years would pass before any other major discoveries regarding superconductors would be unearthed, scientists believing for many years that other than their intriguing lack of resistance, superconductors acted as other materials. In 1933, however, Walter Meissner and Robert Ochsenfeld discovered that superconducting materials displayed an unusually high level of diamagnetism (the ability to repel magnetic fields completely). Now known as the

    The Yamanashi MLX01 MagLev train.
    Uses for Superconductors Magnetic-levitation is an application where superconductors perform extremely well. Transport vehicles such as trains can be made to "float" on strong superconducting magnets, virtually eliminating friction between the train and its tracks. Not only would conventional electromagnets waste much of the electrical energy as heat, they would have to be physically much larger than superconducting magnets. A landmark for the commercial use of MAGLEV technology occurred in 1990 when it gained the status of a nationally-funded project in Japan. The Minister of Transport authorized construction of the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line which opened on April 3, 1997. In December 2003, the MLX01 test vehicle (shown above) attained an incredible speed of 361 mph (581 kph). Although the technology has now been proven, the wider use of MAGLEV vehicles has been constrained by political and environmental concerns (strong magnetic fields

DER Links DER Equipment Energy Storage / UPS Systems Applications Performance Cost Future Development ... Vendors Energy storage technologies produce no net energy but can provide electric power over short periods of time. They are used to correct voltage sags, flicker, and surges, that occurs when utilities or customers switch suppliers or loads. They may also be used as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). As such, energy storage technologies are considered to be a distributed energy resource. Photo Source: UP Networks A short discussion of each technology follows: Battery Storage Utilities typically use batteries to provide an uninterruptible supply of electricity to power substation switchgear and to start backup power systems. However, there is an interest to go beyond these applications by performing load leveling and peak shaving with battery systems that can store and dispatch power over a period of many hours. Batteries also increase power quality and reliability for residential, commercial, and industrial customers by providing backup and ride-through during power outages. The standard battery used in energy storage applications is the lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery reaction is reversible, allowing the battery to be reused. There are also some advanced sodium/sulfur, zinc/bromine, and lithium/air batteries that are nearing commercial readiness and offer promise for future utility application.

    FUNDAMENTALS OF SUPERCONDUCTORS
    The theoretical understanding of superconductivity is extremely complicated and involved. It is far beyond the scope of this video booklet to attempt to discuss the quantum mechanics of superconductors. However, in this section fundamental terms and phenomena of superconductors will be discussed. Superconductors have the ability to conduct electricity without the loss of energy. When current flows in an ordinary conductor, for example copper wire, some energy is lost. In a light bulb or electric heater, the electrical resistance creates light and heat. In metals such as copper and aluminum, electricity is conducted as outer energy level electrons migrate as individuals from one atom to another. These atoms form a vibrating lattice within the metal conductor; the warmer the metal the more it vibrates. As the electrons begin moving through the maze, they collide with tiny impurities or imperfections in the lattice. When the electrons bump into these obstacles they fly off in all directions and lose energy in the form of heat. Figure (3) is a drawing that shows atoms arranged in a crystalline lattice and moving electrons bouncing off the atoms that are in their way.

    Superconductors Show Their Stripes
    K. Hermann/Fritz Haber Institute Supercrystal. One theory claims that "stripes" of electric charges allow the planes of copper (green) and oxygen (blue) in YBa Cu O to carry current without resistance at high temperatures. Now the stripes have been observed in this material.
    Like tigers and zebras, high-temperature superconductors appear to be curious beasts, distinguished by their stripes. Some physicists believe that electricity runs without resistance along lines, or "stripes," of electric charge in these materials. That controversial theory gets a big boost now that a team has finally observed these stripes in the most widely studied of the so-called cuprate superconductors, as reported in the 4 March print issue of PRL . The researchers' large crystal sample enabled them to detect new details in neutron scattering data that support the notion that you can't separate a cuprate superconductor from its stripes. The cuprate superconductors are something like multi-tiered dance halls for electric charges. They consist of parallel planes of copper and oxygen atoms. Within each plane the copper atoms arrange themselves in a square grid, with an oxygen atom sitting between each pair of neighboring coppers. Between the planes lie atoms of other elements, and some of these absorb electrons from the copper atoms, leaving positively charged "holes" behind. Researchers know that these holes pair up to waltz without resistance along the planes. However, they aren't sure how the like-charged holes manage to cling together.
