Recent occurrences of blackouts around the world caused immeasurable damage to electrical network hardware in the range of $10M, however, the losses from an unavailable network are much more. The CIs and Zenergy Power Pty Ltd (formerly Australian Superconductors) have been developing saturated core fault current limiters (FCL) since 1999. The first saturated core fault current limiter employing the Australian's entity's technology was installed in California. The aim of this proposal is to extend this technology to demonstrate next generation FCL using a newly developed superconductor magnesium diboride (MgB2) wire which is cheaper and easier to manufacture than high temperature superconductors and the CIs' group hold strong IP on nano-scale chemically doped MgB2 wires.

最近世界各地发生的停电对电网硬件造成了价值 1000 万美元的不可估量的损失，但网络不可用造成的损失要大得多。 CI 和 Zenergy Power Pty Ltd（前澳大利亚超导公司）自 1999 年以来一直在开发饱和铁芯故障电流限制器 (FCL)。第一个采用澳大利亚实体技术的饱和铁芯故障电流限制器安装在加利福尼亚州。该提案的目的是扩展该技术，以展示使用新开发的超导体二硼化镁 (MgB2) 线的下一代 FCL，该线比高温超导体更便宜且更容易制造，并且 CI 团队在纳米级化学掺杂 MgB2 线方面拥有强大的知识产权。
