European Union Project Fastgrid
EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group and Group for Fiber Optic have gained n European Project named “Cost effective FCL using advanced superconducting tapes for future HVDC grids” (FASTGRID). The project aims at improving significantly existing REBCO conductor architecture to make SCFCLs economically attractive for HVDC Supergrids. However, availability of such an advanced conductor will have an impact on virtually all other applications of HTS tapes. The project consortium consists of 11 European partners. The total budget is 9.03 Mio€
