Nexans completes successful qualification testing of ‘Best Paths’ superconductor cable for HVDC power links

Superconducting cables could enable Europe’s power grids to meet their challenging CO2 reduction targets by helping to transfer many gigawatts (GW) of electricity over distances of several hundreds of kilometers from remote solar or wind farms to population centers without the losses associated with traditional resistive cables. Nexans has helped to bring these innovative high … Read more

Superconducting Cables EU

“The technological solutions for superconducting wires are setting new records” A wonderful achievement, showing the best of the EU; funding from Best Paths, TSO collaboration through Terna and RTE and industry leaders like Nexans and ASG Superconductors (formerly Columbus Superconductors). “…able to carry 500 times more electricity than copper wires and can transport up to 3.2 GW … Read more
