João Fernandes from IDMEC/Instituto Superior Técnico.\n\nThis webin ar explores the concepts and potential benefits of applying superconductor s in electrical machines.\n\nThe “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Developmen t” has identified the electrification of the transportation system as a key strategy to combat environmental degradation. In particular\, for the aviation sector\, the EU\, in its “Flightpath 2050: Europe’s Vision fo r Aviation report”\, set the goals for reducing CO2\, NOx\, and noise em issions by 75%\, 90%\, and 65%\, respectively\, by 2050. However\, nowaday s\, conventional electrical machines still lack the power/torque density r equired for these applications. High-temperature superconductors (HTS) may be a potential solution to expand the electrification of the transportati on system. While HTS technology still faces today technical challenges tha t limit their widespread use for many electric applications\, it has matur ed significantly in recent years\, making it important to understand their potential advantages and disadvantages. This webinar will provide key ins ights into superconducting technology for electric power systems and\, esp ecially\, for electrical machines. Their physical phenomena are explained\ , from a macroscopic point of view\, for DC and AC operation\, and example s of superconducting electrical machines will be presented.\n\nThis webina r is for students\, industry professionals and researchers within the area of electrical engineering who are not familiar with superconducting techn ology.\n\nThe webinar will be held virtually on the 17th of June 2026\, fr om 17h to 18h30 (Portuguese time).
