Abstract :
▪ HTS cable systems constitute a new energy-efficient solution to improve congestion management in both distribution and transmission power grids ▪ The HTS cable technology has been demonstrated at both medium and high voltage (up to 138 kV) and is now moving towards: • Longer lengths (up to 6000 m) • Greater ampacities (5 kA prototype project recently announced in Japan) • Higher voltages (prototype projects at 154 kV in Korea and at 275 kV in Japan) ▪ 2G HTS wires are expected to significantly reduce costs in the coming years ▪ HTS cables and HTS FCL, and the combination of both through fault current limiting HTS cables, are expected to play a significant role in the deployment of future Smart Grids
