Xeus™ Deployment
Markets & Applications
“Today, 20% of our power is electric. According to the research, the United States will need to expand its electricity transmission systems by 60% by 2030, and may need to triple it by 2050.”
Energy Transition & the Power Grid
MetOx solves three challenges in the transition to an increasingly electric world
How to generate more zero-carbon power
How to dramatically increase the grid’s power capacity
How to deliver power when and where it’s needed
HTS distributes transmission-level power at distribution-level voltages
Empowers clean energy generation including wind, solar and fusion energy
Brings power from generation to load, all while greatly reducing power loss
Enables the re-powering of existing grid infrastructure
HTS supports high-density urban expansions where new grid technologies are needed to meet the demand for reliable electrical power.
How Does HTS Fit In?
Transmit high power at low voltage, with zero loss
Expanding capacity of the power grid
The power grid must at least triple in capacity by 2050 to meet net zero goals. HTS cables and transformers can expand the grid without tripling the power lines, poles, substations, and rights of way.
MRI machines, medical imaging and treatment options
Lighter, smaller and more powerful medical devices
HTS wire is a key technology enabling a new world of high efficiency, low cost devices for medical diagnostics and treatments. High field MRI machines are more powerful, faster, and portable with high performance HTS wire.
‘The world’s strongest magnet’ created by CFS in development of SPARK fusion reactor
Enabling clean energy generation and delivery
HTS at scale enables the development of compact fusion reactors and large-scale wind systems. Commonwealth Fusion Systems describe HTS magnets as “the key technology [for] clean commercial fusion energy”.
Superconducting Maglev Train, Shanghai
Revolutionizing next generation transportation from trains to planes
Ships, trains, and aircraft can all benefit from HTS. Superconducting magnetic levitation trains have been built, ship motor prototypes tested, and electric aircraft concepts that use superconducting elements are being developed.
Space Station orbiting Earth
Bringing power to space and next generation aviation
Powering aerospace and defense. MetOx has contributed to NASA research on ways to bring power to the moon using advanced superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) and HTS conductors.
