SWM SuperLink - Innerstädtisches HTS Hochspannungskabel zur Absicherung kritischer Infrastruktur im Zuge der Energiewende
- Contact:
- Project Group: Superconducting power engineering applications
- Funding:
BMWi
Project objective
Development of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) cable connection that economically transmits an electrical power of 500 MVA at the voltage level of 110 kV used in distribution.
- Transmission of high currents with virtually no losses or voltage drop. This makes it possible to transport electricity at lower voltage levels.
- Compact design.
- No generation of external electromagnetic fields.
Commissioning
In October 2024, the SuperLink became the world's first high-voltage superconductor to go into operation.
