# 42 U.S.C. § 13477 - High-temperature superconductivity program
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Program The Secretary shall carry out a 5-year program, in accordance with sections 13541 and 13542 of this title, on high-temperature superconducting electric power equipment technologies. Elements of the program shall include, but are not limited to—
|
||
|
||
(1) activities that address the development of high-temperature superconducting materials that have increased electrical current capacity, which shall be the emphasis of the program for the near-term;
|
||
|
||
(2) the development of prototypes, where appropriate, of the major elements of a superconducting electric power system such as motors, generators, transmission lines, transformers, and magnetic energy storage systems;
|
||
|
||
(3) activities that will improve the efficiency of materials performance of higher temperatures and at all magnetic field orientations;
|
||
|
||
(4) development of prototypes based on high-temperature superconducting wire, that operate at the highest temperature possible, and refrigeration systems using cryogenics such as nitrogen;
|
||
|
||
(5) activities that will assist the private sector with designs for more efficient electric power generation and delivery systems which are cost competitive with conventional energy systems; and
|
||
|
||
(6) development of prototypes that have application in both the commercial and defense sectors.
|
||
|
||
The Secretary is also encouraged to expedite government, laboratory, industry, and university collaborative agreements under existing mechanisms at the Department of Energy in coordination with other Federal agencies.
|
||
|
||
(b) Authorization of appropriations There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for carrying out this section $21,900,000 for fiscal year 1993 and such sums as may be necessary for subsequent fiscal years, to be derived from sums authorized under section 13471(c) of this title.
