Summary

DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IMPORTED POWER EQUIPMENT WORTH US$25 BILLION IN 1986, AND THEIR POWER REQUIREMENTS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE WELL INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. THEREFORE, A GLOBAL VIEW NEEDS TO BE TAKEN WHILE ACCORDING PRIORITIES FOR SUPERCONDUCTIVITY RESEARCH TO THE POWER SECTOR. THE SCALE OF THE POWER APPLICATIONS, FEASIBILITY OF WHICH IS EARLIER ESTABLISHED FOR LOW TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS, MAY HAVE TO BE REDUCED IF THEY HAVE TO BE RELEVANT FOR THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. FORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE EASIER AVAILABILITY OF COOLANT AND CERAMICS, THERE COULD BE GREATER EFFORTS IN R& D AND, THEREFORE, FASTER PROGRESS.
