Panel session on superconducting applications & solutions from Industry and Utilities

Chairs: Christian-Eric Bruzek & Nouredine Hadjsaid

The panel will address some feedback experiences on superconducting field installations and applications worldwide. The various applications that will be presented concern in particular cables, Fault Current Limiters and machinery. The focus is to present both the views of the vendors on state of art technologies and the utilities on field experience.
The session is organized around six presentations by the invited speakers from the industry and utilities followed by a round table discussion and exchange with the audience on the best way to promote the benefits of superconducting solutions, AC vs DC, industry-utilities-academia interaction, regulation, futures perspectives, etc.
Keynote speakers:

• Introduction (Dr. L. Martini, RSE)
• Ampacity project (1km, 10kV, 40MVA HTS cablé with FCL) (Dr. F. Merchel - RWE)
• Yokohama project (240m, 66kV, 200MVA HTS cable) (Dr. T. Masuda, Sumitomo)
• Motors for Aircraft (Dr. F. Berg, Airbus)
• Italian Fault current limiters (Cesare Ravetta, A2A)

Round table (moderators: Dr. Christian Eric Bruzek (Nexans), Prof. Nouredine Hadjsaid (Grenoble-INP))
