The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), together with grid operator TenneT, is studying the use of superconductor technology to replace conventional power cables for short-distance grid transmission within
the framework of the ENSURE Kopernikus project.
KIT's superconducting cables designed for this purpose are efficient and powerful
.
After successful testing, they may allow the construction of more compact transmission lines
in three-phase grids.
The total length of the German transmission grid is around 35,000 km
.
To ensure that electricity generated from renewable sources reaches where it is needed, it is planned to extend the grid by about 5,300 kilometers
during the energy process.
Within the framework of the pilot project, Germany plans to use underground cables
near cities and villages.
If they are partially replaced by a complete superconducting cable system, major advantages
such as zero loss can be realized.
This is the result of
a feasibility study conducted by KIT in cooperation with the grid operator TenneT under the Kopernikus project ENSURE.
The study is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year and will cover ecological and economic aspects
.
Superconductors are materials whose resistance drops to zero when the temperature drops below a certain point, the so-called transition temperature
.
These superconducting materials conduct current
with almost no loss.
The new superconducting cable concept for the transmission grid is based on so-called high-temperature ceramic superconductors
.
While conventional low-temperature superconductors have transition temperatures below 23 Kelvin, i.
e.
below 250°C, high-temperature superconductors have relatively high transition temperatures
.
KIT's experience gained in the "AmpaCity" cable project shows that the use of superconducting technology in energy infrastructure really works
.
With a length of more than one kilometer, AmpaCity cable is the longest high-temperature superconducting cable
in the world.
Since 2014, it has ensured an efficient and stable supply of electricity to around 10,000 households in Essen at 11 kV
