American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) will host a “Power Delivery Solutions for the Smart Grid” exhibit at the 19th annual DistribuTECH Conference & Exhibition at San Diego Convention Center, booth # 2121, on February 3-5, 2009. Company representatives will be on hand to discuss AMSC’s products, services and system-level solutions that enable cleaner, more efficient and more reliable generation, delivery and use of electric power in Today’s Smart Grid.

Benefits of AMSC’s Smart Grid Solutions:

Deliver more power with greater efficiency and reliability Offer transmission and distribution outage prevention through rapid VAR support Provide fault-limiting superconductor transmission and distribution power cable systems enhancing grid resiliency against attack and natural disaster Solve power quality problems

AMSC Exhibit Highlights:

Superconductor Power Cables: Delivers significantly more power, at lower voltages, and requiring less right-of-way than conventional cables, helping to reduce grid congestion as well as installation and operating costs – all with low environmental impact. Secure Super Grids™ Technology: Superconductor power cables capable of carrying very large amounts of power while at the same time suppressing fault current levels.

D-VAR® Solution: Provides real-time voltage stability and VAR support needed to enable the connection of renewable energy and improve power transfer.
Static VAR Compensator (SVC): Substation and pad-mounted SVC solutions stabilize line voltages for anything that connects to the grid, from air compressors to renewable generation. Large scale SVC power grid solutions help stabilize weak systems, minimize line losses, increase power transfer capability and provide dynamic voltage control at lower cost than conventional SVC offerings.
