Abstract

HTS cable demonstration project supported by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has started in Japan. The target of this project is to operate a 66 kV, 200 MVA HTS cable in the live network of Tokyo Electric Power Company in order to demonstrate its reliability and stable operation. The design of the HTS cable with DI-BSCCO has been completed as wellas thoseof atermination and a joint. A 30-meter HTS cable system with terminations, a joint and a cooling system was installed in SEI facility to confirm their design and performance. Various tests as voltage tests, nominal and over current tests, heat cycle tests, heat loss measurements and so on were conducted and it is verified that the cable has good performances as design. This paper describes the design and test results of a 30-meter HTS cable, and discusses required test items of HTS cables.
