ICOME 2024
Applications of superconductors for electrical engineering
Superconducting materials will first be presented, particularly High critical Temperature Superconductors (HTS), from a microscopic physical point of view, followed by tapes and wires used in applications. The electrical and magnetic characterization of these HTS will then be developed. The applications of these HTS in electrical engineering will finally be presented: motors, cables, current limiters, etc.

Dr. Valerie Parry
Grenoble Institute of Technology Grenoble
Dr. Valerie Parry is a materials scientist at Grenoble Alpes University (UGA) in France, specializing in high-temperature corrosion of stainless steels.
She has over 10 years’ experience in exploring the coupling between oxidation, microstructure and mechanics, with the aim of linking mechanical strength and interface morphology to the material’s manufacturing process and surface reactivity. She has published over 40 peer-reviewed papers in high-impact journals. In collaboration with Prof. Chatenet at UGA, she is also involved in research into sustainable materials for alkaline water electrolysis.
