R&D of power transmission and distribution by superconducting power technology and More Electric Aircraft

Superconducting power transmission characterized by zero electrical resistance enables ultra-long-distance international and intercontinental power transmission. Existing concepts include DC power transmission trunk lines across Japan and connecting solar panels in the Sahara Desert to Europe. These are anticipated to serve as next-generation power transmission technologies for the stable supply of sustainable energy. After the development of the world's first experimental high-temperature superconducting DC cable system (20 m), Chubu University founded a technology development cooperative with private businesses as a national project based on the results of the on-campus cable experiment (200 m). The technology development cooperative attained success in a demonstration experiment (500 m/1000 m) conducted in Ishikari City, Hokkaido. Meanwhile, the Center also promotes an R&D project to apply the superconducting DC power transmission technology to More Electric Aircraft (MEA). Actively implementing international exchange and joint research projects, the Center is promoting advanced power transmission and distribution, as well as MEA projects that use superconducting power technology.
