Van Duzer Prize for the best contributed paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity
François Roy from the Applied Superconductivity Laboratory (IC-SCI-BD) headed by the Senior Scientist Bertrand Dutoit has been
awarded by the Van Duzer Prize for the best contributed, non-conference paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity. The article Magneto-Thermal Modeling of Second-Generation HTS for Resistive Fault Current Limiter Design Purposes describe coated conductors coupled electromagnetic and thermal modelling as well as its verification by experimental measurements in the EPFL lab. This work will allow the realization of Fault Current Limiters for a safer and more efficient use of electric power grids. |
