WindTech International: Superconducting transmission cables offer benefits compared to conventional HVDC copper cables in offshore grids
Subsea superconducting transmission cables were shown to offer greater economic benefits to the energy system than conventional high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) copper technology in a 2050 offshore grid. The University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, UK, and SuperNode, Ireland, have conducted technical and techno-economic studies analysing the potential benefits of high-temperature superconductor subsea … Read more
