A Study of Refrigeration for Liquid-Nitrogen-Cooled Power Transmission Cables

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 35 A))

Abstract

The development of ac power transmission cables, operated at cryogenic temperatures, has been pursued for both resistive and superconducting configurations because of their ability to transmit large blocks of power over a narrow right-of-way at high efficiency[1–3].The eventual success of these new transmission concepts depends, to a large extent, upon their ability to demonstrate economic advantages over conventional cables. The cost and reliability of large helium refrigerators have been estimated for a 40-mile superconducting transmission line[4].

This study has been sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract EC-77-C-01-5087.
