Funded Activity Summary

Development of conductive buffer layers for RABiTS-based coated conductors. YBCO coated conductor has already been identified and developed as far as second generation HTS wire in power applications. Major advances have been made in the last 10 years in coated conductor development mainly in all aspects: substrate, buffer layer and YBCO layer. The research on conductive buffers layer will improve and expand the R&D on coated conductor in Australia. On the economic side, dramatic advantages and savings could be achieved if the coated conductors can be put to use. Superconductivity can have a significant role in deregulated electricity markets and in lessening CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts.
