SCARLET contributes to new Roadmap

A comprehensive Roadmap on superconducting high-power cables and lines was recently published in the journal Superconductor Science and Technology, encompassing 19 chapters that provide the current development status. As this technology is rapidly moving into practical deployment, important applications were developed for electric grids, data centres, aviation and high-current industry bus bars.

The Roadmap summarizes the latest R&D efforts, from materials and conductor advances to large demonstration projects, cooling strategies, and new hybrid concepts.

The SCARLET project contributed a chapter on the hybrid transmission of electricity and hydrogen using superconducting cables, as investigated in WP4.

The Roadmap is available open access here, and a webnews on the SCARLET contribution can be read here.
