Title: Superferric Delta-Mode Transmission Line: GW-Capacity Buried Transmission Line to Enable Green Energy
Speaker: Dr. Peter McIntyre, Accelerator Research Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Location: CAPS Seminar Room 120 (2000 Levy Avenue, Building A, Tallahassee, FL 32310)
Abstract
A three-phase superferric transmission line is being developed for low-loss, high-power long-distance power transmission. Three REBCO tapes are configured in a delta configuration with polymer insulation and single-phase hydrogen refrigeration. Laminated ferromagnetic poles are located along both edges of each tape and serve as flux diverters to suppress shielding currents from transverse magnetic flux in the tapes and enable ultra-low-loss high-current operation.
Ultra-low-loss operation makes it possible for the first time to stage long-length buried GW transmission lines to connect distant wind and solar farms to cities where their power is needed.
