Abstract

The research and development of superconducting cables started in the late 1960s when the low temperature superconducting alloys became available [1]. The motivation for this development in the 1970s and 1980s was the increasing need for transmission systems with high rated power. Later on the increasing environmental concern about the overhead lines especially in urban areas made it desirable to find solutions where cables could transfer large amounts of power.
