Prof. Ozan Keysan\, Middle East Technical Univer sity\n\nTopic: "An Introduction to Superconductivity and Its Applications in the Energy Area"\n\nLocation: Middle East Technical University\, Ankara \, Turkey\n\nAbstract: The first superconducting material is discovered ov er a century ago\, but for a long time superconductors couldn’t find any practical applications. Since the discovery of high-temperature supercond uctors\, they have been proposed to be used in different commercial applic ations. One of the promising area for the superconductivity is the energy area\, in which they can be used in practical applications such as magneti c-levitation trains\, power generation\, electricity transmission etc. Sup erconductors can enable much higher efficiencies\, at increased power rati ngs with just a fraction of the size of a conventional copper wire. Howeve r\, currently superconductors has to be cooled down to cryogenic temperatu res to get into superconductivity state\, which introduces many engineerin g challenges for commercial applications. In this talk\, basic properties of superconducting materials and a brief history of discoveries on superco nductivity will be presented. Up-to-date applications and commercial produ cts will be summarized and current challenges and the trends will be discu ssed. No need to have any previous knowledge in the field.\n\nBio: Ozan Ke ysan received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engi neering from the Middle East Technical University\, in 2005 and 2009\, res pectively. He got his Ph.D. degree in Institute for Energy Systems\, Unive rsity of Edinburgh in 2013. His research interests mainly focus on renewab le energy\, design of electrical machines\, smart-grids and superconductiv ity. He is currently an assistant professor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering\, Middle East Technical University. He is one of the principal investigators of the METU PowerLab research group.
