Abstract

High T_c superconducting (HTS) cables and their application to develop a DC electrical power transmission system with the advantages of high transport current capability, low resistive loss, and compact systems have been studied and verified. Technical assessments of DC transmission behaviours with the use of the HTS DC cable technology have been carried out with the HTS DC cable and the system models built. The analysis results are presented in the paper, as well as discussion of economical benefits.
