High temperature superconducting technology for future all-electric ships

This tutorial is to introduce high temperature superconducting (HTS) technologies and associated cryogenics technologies. We would like to make this interactive. Please ask questions and participate in the discussion at the end. Topics Covered: 1. Why HTS technologies are being considered and developed for electric utility applications and for all-electric ships (15 minutes) 2. Basics of superconductivity and superconducting materials (40 minutes) 3. Cryogenic technologies for HTS applications (30 minutes) 4. HTS applications relevant for shipboard applications (15 minutes) 5. Break (15 minutes) 6. Simulation and Modelling of Superconducting Power Devices (30 minutes) 7. Dielectric Testing of HTS Power Devices (30 minutes) 8. Dielectric Test Techniques (20 minutes) 9. Discussion Topics (30 minutes).
