Superconducting Cables
Superconducting power cables act as a bridge between electric energy transmission and distribution. In a superconducting power cable, a superconducting conductor that reaches superconductivity of zero electric resistance below a specific low temperature is used, allowing low-loss transmission of large currents. Superconducting cables with just 20 percent of the thickness of copper cables have an advantage of heightening electric power transmission dimensions a maximum of 10 times (5 times in alternating current, 10 times in direct current) compared to previous cables by using the superconducting phenomenon that electric resistance disappears at -196℃. This means that there is hardly any dissipation of electricity during power transmission. At present, many national research institutions and cable manufacturers are researching and developing this product. The cable market will completely switch to superconducting cables in the future. Many governments are supporting businesses for the commercialization because of the enormous cost of the project. Our data only covers manufacturer revenue from superconducting power cables. Cooling equipment is generally provided by industrial gas manufacturers, so this part of income is not counted.
