Project objective
In inner-city energy distribution networks, it is necessary to replace existing cables with systems with higher currents. The aim is to develop innovative systems with which the existing pipelines of the existing AC gas pressure cables can continue to be used, but with higher specific power. With regard to this goal, high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are a promising material option. Accordingly, the proposed project aims to develop a high-performance HTS system to replace existing pressurized gas cables. The project objective is a 3-phase HTS cable:
- Length: approx. 30 m
- Transmission capacity: approx. 100 MW
- Voltage: 20 kV
- Current: 3 kA
- Operating temperature: 70 K
- Insulation: uncooled liquid nitrogen
Energy transmission with higher specific power using existing infrastructure.
