This year's CCA (Coated Conductors for Applications) workshop will be held in Houston, TX. During this conference, the applications of superconductors and other coated conductors will be the main focus. THEVA will be represented by Dr. Cornelia Hintze, who will give a presentation about THEVA's product portfolio and our application projects. Please find further information about the event here: https://cca2023.me.uh.edu/
The Deutsches Museum in Munich organizes a series of events called "Future Slam" within their "Forum of the future". At each Future Slam, five ideas from different areas of life are presented. THEVA participated at the second Future Slam on 26th January, 2023 and amazed the audience by talking about the use of superconductors especially in the are of nuclear fusion. The 2nd Future Slam can be streamed in full length here: Deutsches Museum's Youtube Channel
We are pleased to announce our participation in 1st High Temperature superconductor Accelerator Technology (HiTAT) workshop. HiTAT will be held on 9-10 March 2023 at CERN. The focus of the program is on REBCO coated conductor for use in Hadron Therapy accelerator magnets, including post HL-LHC high energy colliders and beam lines. HiTAT, on this occasion organised in the framework of the H2020-I.FAST project. THEVA will give a presentation on "REBCO tape at Theva: state of the art and prospects" during the workshop.

Prof. Mathias Noe and Dr. Markus Bauer published a paper about the application of superconductors in high-current cables in Physik unserer Zeit. You can download the paper here: Paper "Without Resistance" Excerpt: Superconducting cables and wires are well developed and the first economic applications are foreseeable. One obstacle to widespread application is the still insufficient number of successful prototypes in long-term use. On top of that, there is a lack of knowledge about the many possible applications and the degree of maturity of the technology.
This year, the Applied Superconductivity Conference (ASC 2022) will be held in person again. From October 23rd to 28th, representatives from the superconductor industry and research will meet in Honolulu. For THEVA, our CEO Dr. Werner Prusseit will be onsite and give two talks: Production of technical HTS wire for magnet and cable applications (Session "Coated Conductors" on 24th October) as well as Development and testing of a 110 kV SuperLink system using HTS 2G wires (Session "Superconducting Devices for Power Grid" on 27th Oct.). Please feel free to arrange a meeting by sending us a quick email to sales@theva.com. We are looking forward to meeting you in person at ASC 2022 in Honolulu. .

The RoWaMag project started on 01.04.2019, with the goal to develop a robust and low-maintenance magnetic heater with HTS conductors of the second generation. The project aims to prove the technical and economic suitability of the magnetic heater. The use of superconductors reduces electrical losses in the drive train by 30% compared with conventional methods. Up to 120 kWh can thus be saved per ton of aluminum when heated to 520 °C. THEVA is supplying the core component in this project - the superconducting magnet. Four coils were wound and cast from approximately 4,000 m of HTS tape. The coils were then tested in liquid nitrogen (77 K) for their critical current and showed no degradation. In the next step, the coils were built into the casing, which was provided by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Three of the four coils built were used for this purpose, with one serving as a reserve. THEVA also attached the superconducting current leads to the copper contacts. This coil package was handed over to KIT on November 8, 2021. Now the installation in the cryostat and the commissioning as well as the long-term test will take place at Bültmann. Commissioning is planned for April 2022. The project will be followed by a possible commercialization of the magnetic heater.
