ANALYSIS OF FUTURE PRICES AND MARKETS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS

This report presents a picture of how high temperature superconductors (HTS) may impact the national electrical system over the next 25 years. The intended purpose is to allow other analysts to make better estimates of future HTS markets. This study is limited in scope to the four most prominent users of electricity: motors, transformers, generators and transmission lines. Our intent is to focus on those technical areas in which HTS can make a significant contribution.
