PSDcast (also known as Podcast) by Power Systems Design are moderated and produced by PSD's editorial staff.
PSDcast are audio interviews on relevant topics to the power electronics industry and are conducted with subject matter experts from the power electronics industry, academic institutions and relevant industry associations.
The promise of superconductivity for electrical power transmission and transportation has long been held back by high costs. Now researchers from the University of Houston and Germany have demonstrated a way to cut the cost and upend both the transit and energy transport sectors by using superconductors to move people, cargo and energy along existing highway infrastructure. Dr. Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH, is on the call.
