Completed projects
Note that we are the beneficiary of a project co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development within the framework of the APPLIED RESEARCH PROGRAMME (3rd competition) entitled: Superconducting energy storage with power electronics interface for distribution network applications.
The project involves the development of a scalable two-module energy storage for power system applications with a high share of renewable energy sources. The energy storage method will use the phenomenon of low-temperature superconductivity. The research area of the project will involve, among other things, the construction of a dedicated superconducting coil, the optimal selection of the topology of the power-electronic converter and the development of original control algorithms, including those offering innovative functionalities made possible by the modularity of the system. The practical aim of the project will be to create a demonstration model of a high-power superconducting energy storage (NpME) consisting of two 250 kW modules (300 kW peak power) and 200 kJ energy.
The project is being implemented by a consortium consisting of:
- Warsaw University of Technology – Leader
- Institute of Electrical Engineering
- University of Zielona Góra
- P.B.W. “Frako-Term” sp. z o.o.
