N2 - High temperature superconducting cable demonstration project supported by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization has started since FY 2007 in Japan. Target of this project is to operate a 66 kV, 200 MVA HTS cable in a live grid in order to demonstrate its reliability and stable operation. A demonstration site has been decided to Asahi substation which is located in Yokohama. The cable length will be decided to between 200 and 300 m depending on a site configuration. Various preliminary tests such as critical current, ac losses, fault current loading, mechanical tests, have been conducted by using short core samples in order to confirm a HTS cable design and a cable-to-cable joint structure. From these test results, a HTS cable, a joint and a termination have been designed to meet the required specifications. To verify their performances before the installation of the HTS cable system in Yokohama, a 30-m HTS cable was manufactured and various sample tests were conducted as shipping test. The critical current of the HTS conductor and shield were 6.1 kA and 7.1 kA, respectively. The AC loss was 0.83 W/m/ph at 2 kArms, 60 Hz. As withstand voltage tests, AC 90 kV for 3 h and lightning impulse at ±385 kV were applied to cable core, successfully. These test results has confirmed that the 30-m cable had good properties as designed and satisfied the required specifications. After the success of the shipping tests, the 30-m HTS cable pre-demonstration system has been installed at SEI factory. The cable system will be operated and checked the various performances in this summer.
