HOTSMES Project

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage for Power Quality based on a 50 kJ conduction cooled magnet manufactured by CRIS using AgMg-sheated Bi-2223 tape made by TRITHOR.

Partially financed by the EU (V Framework Programme - Energy).

Duration : 42 months (started on 01.01.2003) .

The research project is in partnership with :

bulletAnsaldo Ricerche (I)
bulletTRITHOR Gmbh (D)
bulletSCIRO srl (I)
bulletEAA Iberica S.L. (E)
bulletCentre for Renewable Energy Sources (GR)
bulletUniversity of Genova (I)
