Manufacturing and commissioning of 24 kV superconducting cable in Detroit

The development of power transmission system based on high temperature superconducting material is reaching an important goal with the ongoing Detroit Edison HTS Cable Project in Detroit, Michigan. AMSC, DOE, EPRI, LANL, Lotepro are the project partners. The system consist into designed 24 kV, 100 MVA three phase superconducting warm dielectric cables, compact terminations, one joint, refrigeration and control/monitoring system. Nine conventional cables in duct have been substituted with only three HTS cables operating at the same voltage and overall current. In this paper we present the status of the project.
