Beschreibung:High temperature superconductivity (HTSC) has the potential to dramatically impact many commercial markets, including the electric power industry. Since 1987, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has supported a program to develop HTSC applications for the power industry. The purpose of EPRI is to manage technical research and development programs to improve power production, distribution, and use. The institute is supported by the voluntary contributions of some 700 electric utilities and has over 600 utility technical experts as advisors. One objective of EPRI's HTSC program is to educate utility engineers and executives on the technical issues related to HTSC materials and the supporting technologies needed for their application. To accomplish this, Argonne National Laboratory was commissioned to prepare a series of monthly reports that would explain the significance of recent advances in HTSC. A component of each report was a tutorial on some aspect of the HTSC field. Topics ranged from the various ways that thin films are deposited to the mechanisms used to operate major cryogenic systems. The tutorials became very popular within the utility industry. Surprisingly, the reports also became popular with scientists at universities, corporate laboratories, and the national laboratories. Although these researchers are quite experienced in one aspect of the technology, they are not so strong in others. It was the diversity and thoroughness of the tutorials that made them so valuable
