Mark & Wedell has announced it has secured a significant contract to engineer and deliver state-of-the-art superconducting solutions for a key European fusion energy research project. The project involves the complete design, engineering, and fabrication of a pair of advanced superconducting current leads—highly specialized, mission-critical components capable of handling immense electrical currents up to 45 kA.
The project involves the complete design, engineering, and fabrication of a pair of advanced superconducting current leads—highly specialized, mission-critical components capable of handling immense electrical currents up to 45 kA. These solutions, which utilize next-generation REBCO tape, are essential for the test infrastructure of a major European fusion experiment. This crucial international facility, located in Italy, is intended to solve some of the toughest challenges in developing fusion energy as a viable, safe, and virtually limitless power source. Mark & Wedell’s current leads will be a critical part of this test infrastructure, enabling the validation of powerful new magnet technologies.
Torben Ekvall, CEO of Mark & Wedell, shared his enthusiasm: “With this significant project, Mark & Wedell once again demonstrates our unique expertise in engineering optimized superconducting current leads. This project not only expands our capabilities to a new scale but also solidifies our role as a strategic European partner in developing solutions that utilize next-generation REBCO tape.”
This project represents not just a technical achievement but a step toward the emerging market for commercialization of fusion energy. It aligns perfectly with M&W’s strategic focus on bridging “Big Science” and industrial applications. As Mark & Wedell continues to expand its footprint as a key solutions provider for high-stakes research, this delivery sets the stage for future innovations and breakthroughs.
