Abstract

MHD has the potential to become the first large-scale commercial application of superconductivity. Recent accomplishments of the DOE/MHD development program have shown this fossil-fueled power generation technique to be capable of higher efficiencies and lower-per-kilowatt-hour cost than any other near-term technology.
