Welcome to the Centre for Superconducting Electrical Futures (SEF), where we bring together diverse expertise to fuse superconductivity with electrical machines, power electronics and materials science to enable the transformation of the energy and transport sectors to net zero.
Our ambition is to push the frontiers of electrical power generation systems through the use of high temperature superconductors and disrupting conventional approaches in electrical power and propulsion systems.
Our flagship project funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies programme, provides 10 years of funding until 2033. SuperMachine will produce a platform modular electrical machine technology for use in multi-MW direct drive wind turbines, and in propulsion systems for aerospace and marine.
