Sommario/riassunto

This essential reference provides the most comprehensive presentation



of state-of-the-art research being conducting worldwide today in this growing field of research and applications. HTS  are currently being supported by numerous governmental and industrial initiatives in the USA and Asia and Europe to overcome energy distribution issues and are now being commercialised for power-delivery devices, such as power transmission lines and cables, motors, and generators. Applications in electric utilities include energy-storing devices to help industries avoid dips in electric power, current limite
