Periodic Reporting for period 3 - FASTGRID (Cost effective FCL using advanced superconducting tapes for future HVDC grids)

REBCO (REBa2Cu3O7, RE=Rare Earth) conductors were not economically suitable for SuperConducting (SC) high voltage Fault Current Limiters (SFCL). FASTGRID reduced the cost by nearly one order of magnitude using three ways: i) the tape length reduction through the increase of...
