Solving Grid Challenges with Superconductors

Tech Talks Series – December 13, 2023 Superconductors could transform the grid as we know it. In this WIRES Tech Talk, executives from MetOx introduce High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) wire and their XEUS™ conductor, a breakthrough technology that delivers up to 250x the current-carrying capacity of copper with near-zero line loss. Learn how superconductors can expand grid capacity, maximize rights-of-way, and reduce blackout risks — all while helping the U.S. meet net-zero goals by 2050. The talk covers the fundamentals of superconductivity, real-world cable projects, regulatory opportunities (including DOE and FERC), and a look ahead at innovations like HTS transformers and offshore cables. Stay ahead of the curve with insights into one of the most promising technologies reshaping the future of transmission.
