Supercondutividade Aplicada a Sistemas de Energia Elétrica

In the end of the course, the student should have acquired knowledge, skills and competences that will allow him/her:

- Understanding the fundamental concepts and phenomena of superconductivity and superconducting materials.

- Understanding the particularities of the different types of superconducting materials (high and low temperature, type I and type II).

- Being able to perform thermodynamic calculations related to the project of cryogenic systems.

- Being able to analyse systems with superconducting materials by the finite elements method.

- Knowing the main applications of high temperature superconductors in electrical energy systems (generation, transmission, distribution, use and energy storage).

- Conceiving and performing calculations relatively to the preliminary design of superconducting applications in electric energy systems.

- Knowing the main experimental techniques associated to superconductivity, for the measurement of electromagnetic properties.
