IASS Workshop on the future of long-distance high-power electric transmission
On May 12th-13th, 2011, the IASS hosted an International Brainstorming Workshop on the future of long-distance high-power electric transmission (Superconducting DC lines).
Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal and tidal power, are increasingly becoming more widely available in many parts of the world. Following the recent accident in Japan, the proposals to reduce nuclear power will make the development of renewable energy even more of a priority. As renewable energy sources will be located where suitable conditions (solar radiation, wind) are available, the generated energy will have to be transported over long distances, up to several thousands of kilometres.
