Ensure Continuous Power to Critical Industrial Processes with the New Superconducting Storage Device (SSD™)

Show full item recordAbstract
Long-term outages have been effectively reduced by
electric utilities. However, momentary voltage disturbances are
increasing on power systems across the country.
Simultaneously, most industries have increased the use of
electronically controlled equipment which is especially
vulnerable to these momentary voltage disturbances. These
short-term disturbances are costing U.S. industry millions of
dollars a year in downtime, product loss and equipment damage.
The Superconducting Storage Device (SSD™) has been
developed by Superconductivity, Inc. to protect large, sensitive
and critical industrial processes by supplying supplemental
power whenever short disturbances occur - reliably, efficiently
and cost effectively.
This paper is written to acquaint the reader with the SSD, its
superconducting magnet, power electronics equipment and
support systems, as well as describe how it works and review its
performance.
