Jicable'23 - 11th International Conference on Power Insulated Cables, Lyon - France 18-22 June 2023 : proceedingsAbstract
Combining liquid hydrogen and superconducting cables presents a unique opportunity for a more decarbonized world. The European project SCARLET has been launched to demonstrate inter alia the feasibility of an MVDC hybrid system that distributes hydrogen and bulk electricity in the same infrastructure. Liquid hydrogen at 20 K is perfectly suited for cooling MgB2 compact cables that are superconducting below 39 K. After a short presentation of the project, designs of MVDC MgB2 cables systems capable of transmitting 1 GW are discussed. A type test and long-term testing will be conducted to demonstrate the maturity and safety of the system.
