Building a More Powerful Wind Turbine January 10, 2014 A team of University of Houston researchers is developing a superconducting wire with 400 percent the performance of wire available today and an aim to increase the power of wind turbines to 10 megawatts and more. The wire uses minimal rare earth materials. According to Venkat "Selva" Selvamanickam, M.D. Anderson Chair Professor in the UH Cullen College of Engineering, there is a need and interest in to develop higher power wind turbines— those that produce 10 megawatts and more (compared to two megawatts). While UH is not the only university conducting research on superconducting wires for use in the energy industry, specifically wind energy, Selva and his team are taking it a step further— figuring out how to take it to the marketplace, which means learning to scale-up the technology so it can be made cost effectively in large quantities. |
