O utopia: superconductors for transmission lines globally?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the potential for using superconductors in global power transmission lines. A model is being developed to understand the parameters necessary for effective power transmission using superconductors, which currently require cooling with liquid nitrogen to achieve superconductivity. There is hope for advancements in room temperature superconductivity, which would significantly enhance feasibility. Participants express challenges in creating a clear model for transmission line parameters and seek numerical data to aid their research. The conversation highlights the need for further exploration of existing applications of superconductors worldwide.

o:) utopia: superconductors for transmission lines globally?

o:) undefinedundefined
i want to develop a model ,entailing all the parameters required to transmitt power using SUPERCONDUCTORS .
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME PLEEZE POST THE NUMERICAL DATA REGD THE SAME ,this will be highly acknowledged by me

I don't know about the "globally" part. You need to keep the conductor in liquid nitrogen to get the superconducting effect. At least for now, anyway. Hopefully the researchers will keep increasing the critical temperature -- room temp superconductivity would be awesome, eh?

Here's a link to get you started...

i ve done quite a thing on this topic and also don't found any thing relevantly usefull regd d sub ,becoz in transmission the receiving and sending end voltages will b zero causing zero line current which inturn will cutt out the amount of conductor used ,butt still i am not done with creating a clear pic of the case depicting the Zbus and transients and the line parameters ie T ,cross etc and also i am failed in creating transfer matrix.
dude by globbaly i want to know that whether in ane part of thr world we r using superconductors for the same/////////

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
