    Nexans and Bruker HTS announced that a high temperature superconducting distribution level cable project has been successfully completed. The project, called Super 3C, commenced in June 2004 and was finalised in December 2008. It was financed by the European Union and the investment amounted to 5.2 million euros. The cable achieves power transmission of 17 megawatts and it features second generation high temperature superconducting tapes.

EERE News: Superconducting Cable Project Points to More Efficient Grid - 0 views

  • DOE and SuperPower, Inc. commemorated on February 21 a $27 million project to install a 350-meter high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cable between two electrical substations in Albany. While that might not sound like much cable for the money, the project is the first demonstration of a technology that could someday be used to build a more energy efficient power grid. The HTS cable reduces energy loss by up to 10%, and wires using the same technology could potentially be integrated into generators, transformers, cables, and fault current limiters, making most of the equipment that produces and delivers power more energy efficient. On the other end of the power line, HTS wires can be employed in motors, providing an energy efficiency improvement for one of the largest electrical loads served by electric utilities.

  • This technology is now moving towards the pre-commercial stage through already announced or under discussion multi-hectometre cable projects. However, these multi-filamentary wires are expected to be replaced in the near future by a generation of cheaper HTS tapes, the Coated conductors (CC). According to their final report, SUPER3C is one of the first cables in the world using second generation (2G) HTS tapes as current carrying elements. The 2G-hybrid conductor utilises the advantages of both superconductivity and copper, enabling it to work and interconnect smoothly with conventional network components.

  • To improve energy efficiency, companies are increasingly researching into new methods of reducing losses during energy transmission and generation. High-temperature superconductors (HTS) have been ranked amongst the most effective technologies being developed. Besides this, the growing trend towards new power generation sources and smart grids are the main market drivers for superconducting components such as cables, generators, and storage systems.

  • Bi-2212 stands out as the only HTS (high temperaure superconductor) that can be fabricated as a round wire. This makes Bi-2212 a perfect candidate for winding cables and coils without significantly changing present magnet technology.

  • AMSC claims its HTS wires can carry 150 times the capacity of power than copper wires, which it says will mean the 10MW turbine is expected to be around 120 tonnes in weight, rather than the 300 tonnes suggested for a conventional direct drive 10MW turbine.

  • LS Cable and Nexans will both manufacture superconductor power cables utilizing Amperium wire -- AMSC's proprietary second generation (2G) high temperature superconductor (HTS) wire. Once completed, the Tres Amigas SuperStation will, for the first time, provide the capability to transfer thousands of megawatts of power between the three asynchronous U.S. power grids.
