Smart Grid Construction Helps Superconducting Industry Develop

Superconductivity was known as early as 1911. At present, all research and development of superconducting technology in China has entered the right track, and it has entered the industrialization operation. Now it has been generally operating in the power industry, communications, military and medical fields.

In the research and development of superconductivity in our country, superconducting material business has experienced the research and development of low temperature to high temperature, the first generation material has been researched and matured, and the second generation material is favored by the market due to its low cost and suitable for industrial operation; superconductivity Product categories have gradually increased, and superconducting cables, superconducting current limiters, superconducting filters, superconducting energy storage, and so on have now been industrialized. Although there is still a certain gap with the international community, R&D in some areas is already at an international advanced level.

Since superconductivity technology is considered to determine the competitiveness of a country's smart grid to a certain extent, for the superconducting industry, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the comprehensive construction of China’s smart grid will provide good development for the industry. The development opportunity.

Hao Junjie, researcher of the Industry Research Institute of Forward-looking Industry Institute, believes that the superconducting industry may usher in a rapid growth of “ten times of ten years.” The size of the superconducting market in China in the next decade will be approximately 130-1600 billion yuan, and it is estimated that by 2020 The output value will reach 75 billion U.S. dollars.

Due to the high barriers to superconductivity technology, although various types of superconducting material companies and wire and cable manufacturers have entered the superconducting industry market one after another, only a few research institutes in the world have mastered relevant technologies, and no large-scale commercial production has yet been implemented. Monopoly pattern, so the market's first entrants will occupy a clear dominant position due to rich operating experience and become the market leader.
