Superconductor Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: SCON) has been selected as prime recipient of the $4.5 million program award provided by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Office, for its Next Generation Electric Machines (NGEM) program. Collaborating with STI is TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company (TWMC), an industry leading manufacturer of electric generators and motors, and renowned academic institutions Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of North Texas (UNT). The combined team will focus on improving the manufacturing process of superconductive wires to improve performance and yield while reducing cost at high enough temperatures where nitrogen can be used as the cryogenic fluid.
“Advancing these enabling technologies has the potential to boost the competitiveness of American manufacturers and take the development of more efficient electric machines a giant step further,” said Mark Johnson, director of the EERE Advanced Manufacturing Office. “These technology R&D projects aim to significantly improve industrial motors for manufacturing, helping companies who use these motors in manufacturing save energy and money over the long run.”
“We believe that being selected first by our esteemed proposal partners and then winning the DOE award recognizes STI’s unique HTS manufacturing process and our ability to achieve high performance, cost efficiencies and commercial scale capacity,” stated STI’s president and chief executive officer Jeff Quiram. “In addition, the significant wire improvement goals for this program will address our customers’ desire for increased infield magnetic performance and high performance/low cost wire for many applications, such as motors, generators, magnets, power cables and MRI machines. STI expects to transition from R&D to full scale production of motor- and generator-optimized wire during the three-year project plan, which will enable our superconducting technology to be introduced into Next Generation Electrical Machines utilizing high performance/low cost HTS wire."
TWMC’s president Pat Rogers stated, “TWMC recognized the immense value of superconductor technology for high-power electric machines early, and we are committed to their commercialization. We look forward to collaborating to develop the transformational technology needed to achieve commercial viability of high power superconducting next-generation electric machines.”
MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center Assistant Director Joseph V. Minervini stated, “STI’s goal of high performance at low cost can be a game changer for a wide range of applications, not only at temperatures near liquid nitrogen, but also at lower temperatures.”
UNT’s Assistant Professor Materials and Science Engineering Dr. Marcus L. Young stated, “By bringing together university knowledge and capabilities from MIT and UNT with STI, a world class manufacturer of superconducting materials, and TWMC, the end user and device maker with over 100 years of experience in motor design and application, the full range of research and development to product manufacturing and wide scale commercialization of superconducting materials will be achieved.”

U.S. Patent No. 9,564,258 entitled “Coated Conductor High Temperature Superconductor Carrying High Critical Current Under Magnetic Field By Intrinsic Pinning Centers, And Methods Of Manufacture Of Same” from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), associated with U.S. Patent No. 9,362,025 announced in June 2016, provides additional protection for STI’s unique manufacturing process.
“This new patent protects the foundation from which we will build high performance wire for our customers,” said Jeff Quiram, STI's President and CEO. “The flexibility provided by our proprietary manufacturing process enables STI to build superconducting wire in very unique ways.”
The ability to carry high electrical current in the presence of a strong magnetic field is a key enabler for the superconducting applications of the future. Using a technique called pinning, superconducting wire performance is dramatically improved. The traditional approach is to add more elements when manufacturing the superconducting layer, thereby increasing the complexity of an already challenging process.
Quiram continued, “STI has demonstrated the ability to incorporate pinning into our superconductor without using additional elements. This technique is now protected, allowing STI to meet the needs of our customers without the cost and difficulty of an increasingly complex manufacturing process. We believe that this will allow us to deliver the highest performing wire with high manufacturing yields, enabling us to be a market leader. Our proprietary RCE-CDR process makes Conductus wire ideal for applications such as motors, generators, MRI and NMR machines that require high in-field performance. We are excited about the growing demand for more efficient alternatives to traditional materials and designs, as well as our positioning in the industry.”
Reactive Co-evaporation and Cyclic Deposition Reaction Rare Earth, Barium, Copper Oxide (ReBCO) materials are recognized as a superior superconductor by offering better performance in a magnetic field. STI’s RCE-CDR process grows a ReBCO superconductor film onto a flexible template. This process requires accurate temperature, uniform pressure, precise ratios of elements and the presence of oxidizing atmospheres to grow high performance superconducting materials. The company’s RCE-CDR system is scaled for large batch operation to insure every portion of superconducting wire has uniform material properties.
