AC superconducting cables
Abstract
The characteristics and economics of superconducting power transmission cables are described. At present Austria is the only European country continuing this research. The USSR has an active program and U.S. efforts are concentrated at the Brookhaven Laboratory which is constructing a 100 m long 138 kV test facility.
