SubsidieMeestersMaking Superconducting power grids a feasible solution for Europe
SUBRA aims to revolutionize European power grids by mass-producing High Temperature Superconductor cables, significantly reducing energy losses, costs, and material usage.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Power transmission is a critical step in electrifying and decarbonizing Europe. The construction of cross-continental grids for transmitting large amounts of power over very long distances has become strategic.
Energy Losses in Current Systems
However, using current cables made with standard conductors entails prohibitive energy losses in such grids. For instance, 50GW would be wasted in a pan-European 75,000 km 10GW High-Voltage Direct-Current (HVDC) grid, which is equal to the electricity produced by 50 power plants.
Innovative Solution by SUBRA
SUBRA, a spin-off from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), has developed and patented a solution that will revolutionize European grids. This solution involves mass-producing High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) power cables, which have superior properties, no limitation in length, and are offered at an affordable price.
Benefits of HTS Power Cables
This represents a ground-breaking option allowing for:
- 90% reduction of energy losses
- 99% reduction of copper required
- 75% reduction of Levelized Cost of Transmission (LCoT)
- Use of small underground lines rather than overhead lines
