High Temperature Superconductors in the Modern Wind Turbine Technology-A Review

摘要

In this article, author reviews about the aspects of 2G and 3G HTSrs which are being seen in the revolutionary development of modern wind turbine technology, electricity generation, power utilization and power transportation and distribution system. In history, wind power was used for electricity generation in 1887 (Scotland, UK) and in 1888 (Cleveland Ohio, USA). It is a source of clean, renewable and cheapest source of energy for human developments and green economic growth. Because of the high fuel price and environmental crisis, use of renewable energy is a prominent issue of the 21st century. Major role of the renewable energy (like wind, solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal, biomass etc) is the abatement of greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions and other environmental impacts, and it is the best to break the problems of power shortage.
