Superconductors Materials and Their Applications

The document discusses superconductors, including their materials and applications. Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without resistance below a certain temperature and magnetic field. They can be elements, alloys, ceramics, or organic compounds. Applications of superconductors include particle accelerators, generators, transportation, power transmission, electric motors, computing, and medical uses. Superconducting generators convert mechanical to electrical energy using a self-produced magnetic field. Superconducting transmission lines provide zero resistance transmission using low voltage and high current.

SUPERCONDUCTOR

 An element, inter-metallic alloy, or compound that will conduct electricity


without resistance below a certain temperature, magnetic field, and applied
current.
 Super conductor are the material having almost zero resistivity and behave as
diamagnetic below the super conducting transition temperature.
 Super conductors are PERFECT conductors.
SUPERCONDUCTOR MATERIAL
CLASSIFICATION

 Superconductor material classes include chemical elements (e.g. mercury or lead


), alloys (such as niobium–titanium, germanium–niobium, and niobium_nitride), 
ceramics (YBCO and magnesium diboride), superconducting pnictides (like
fluorine-doped LaOFeAs) or organic superconductors (fullerenes and 
carbon nanotubes; though perhaps these examples should be included among the
chemical elements, as they are composed entirely of carbon).
APPLICATIONS OF SUPERCONDUCTORS

SUPERCONDUCTING GENERATOR

 Converts mechanical to electrical energy.


 Own magnetic field is produced.
 Current and flux density determines the output.
 Field windings produces higher magnetic field.
 Superconductors have extremely high current carrying capacity.
SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSMISSION
LINE CABLES

 Provides ZERO resistance.


 Due to LOW VOLTAGE, high current transmission occurs.
 SMALL physical size.
 Reduced CLEARANCE for terminal faculties.
 Quick RECOVERY after fault.
 Overload capability.
SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETIC ENERGY
STORAGE SYSTEM (SEMS)

 Current carrying wire generates a magnetic field.


 Superconducting solenoids made by wrapping a superconducting wire in the coil
from are functionally superior to conventional solenoids.
 Zero DC electrical resistance.
 No resistive losses.
