We are working on advanced modelling tools for superconducting devices, designing and manufacturing high power density superconducting machines and cryogenic power electronics converters/inverters and conducting power system modelling incorporating superconducting devices such as distribution networks and HVDC networks.
We have a fully equipped cryogenic and superconductivity laboratory located in the Technology and Innovation Centre in the centre of Glasgow. More details of the laboratory’s capability can be found in the Facilities page.
Our research has three main themes: Cryogenic Propulsion for zero emission aviation, Power System applications and Fusion.
We focus on developing cryogenic propulsion powertrain for zero emission aviation, using high temperature superconductors to improve the overall power density and efficiency of the powertrain. Read more…
