Can high-temperature superconductor cable be used in space solar power stations?

Abstract: Compared to traditional metal cable, high-temperature superconductor (HTS) cable is a promising candidate for the energy transmission in space solar power stations due to its great advantage in high power density and efficiency.

Which superconductors are suitable for superconducting materials?

At present, practical superconducting materials include low-temperature superconductors such as NbTi and Nb₃Sn, high-temperature superconductors such as Bi-2212, Bi-2223, YBCO, iron-based superconductors and MgB₂.

What are examples of superconductors?

Superconductors are materials that offer no resistance to electrical current. Prominent examples of superconductors include aluminium, niobium, magnesium diboride, cuprates such as yttrium barium copper oxide and iron pnictides. These materials only become superconducting at temperatures below a certain value, known as the critical temperature.
