Oak Ridge National Laboratory
ORNL is the leading DOE national laboratory in high temperature superconducting (HTS) applications, including Superconductivity Partnership with Industry projects in the areas of HTS cables, transformers, fault current limiters, motors and generators.
As part of these projects, ORNL provides technical expertise in the integration of cryogenic cooling systems with the HTS conductor elements, as well as quench and stability, AC-loss and other studies of HTS conductors and coils. The optimization of cryogenic cooling systems for these emerging technologies is included in this R&D program.
ORNL is also involved with cryogenic R&D for DARPA, ONR and NASA. Additionally, the laboratory is performing leading-edge R&D in the area of cryogenic dielectric materials, including the design of dielectric systems that operate at high voltages in the temperature range of 20-80 K.
