We invite you to join us on Monday, 16 June, for a Challenge Workshop & Sandpit focused on enabling new partnerships in superconducting generation and transmission technologies.  

Superconducting technologies offer the potential for drastically reducing the volume and weight of

power generation and transmission equipment, with the technology actively being developing for aviation propulsion

systems, renewable energy generation systems fusion, gigawatt scale cable systems and fault current limiters.

This challenge workshop will bring together researchers and industry figures from across these areas for a series of

keynote talks and sandpit activities to foster new collaborations and research proposals. We are also inviting early

career researchers to give a series of flash presentations.

As part of the event, we will also discussing the N-ZEEE vision for a new Power-Electronics, Machines and Drives

focused EPSRC Supergen hub, with a chance for attendees to discuss, influence and contribute to developing this

vision, and discuss how superconducting technologies may play a role in this hub. 

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:

Prof. Xiaoze Pei – University of Bath

Zero Emissions Electric Aircraft through Superconducting DC Distribution Network

Prof. Francesco Grilli - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)

Superconductors for Wind Energy Applications

Prof. Weijia Yuan – University of Strathclyde

High Temperature Superconducting Cable Systems

Dr. Chuanli Zhao – GKN Aerospace

The Hybrid Hydrogen & Electric Architecture (H2GEAR) Project

Volunteers for talks by both established and early career

researchers welcome

About N-ZEEE: N-ZEEE is one of four EPSRC Network+ projects aiming to create

coherence in a research area that is currently absent with the aim of enabling a

future bid to compete for EPSRC Supergen Hub funding.
