New SCARLET publication
What if we could significantly simplify offshore wind farms by directly producing MVDC export voltages and connecting the farms to the grid via MVDC high-power superconducting cables? In doing so, we could eliminate the need for the conversion function in offshore platforms! In the current issue of the IEEE journal Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, Christophe […]
