High efficient DC power transmission using high-temperature superconductors

DC power transmission systems are considered to be developed using high-temperature superconductors (HTS) with advantages of higher current carrying capability, energy loss reduction, lower system voltages, high stability with self-protection, and more compact systems. This paper will provide technical assessments of HTS DC electrical power transmission systems using HTS techniques, and analysis of the system performance in steady and dynamic states will also be presented.
