Summary
FOLLOWING A STUDY IN 1971, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT AN OPTIMAL DESIGN FOR A SUPERCONDUCTING POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WOULD UTILIZE NIOBIUM-TIN SUPERCONDUCTOR IN FLEXIBLE CABLES COOLED BY SUPERCRITICAL HELIUM. A 1,000 MVA PROTOTYPE WAS CONSTRUCTED AND OPERATED FROM 1982 UNTIL THE PRESENT. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CABLES, CABLE ENCLOSURE AND TERMINATIONS IS SUMMARIZED OVER A WIDE RANGE OF OPERATING CONDITIONS. THE RESULTS CONFIRM THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF THIS TECHNOLOGY TO MOVE LARGE BLOCKS OF ELECTRIC POWER OVER LONG DISTANCES.
