lproven Superconductors Enter Commercial Utility Service by Monica Heger
American Superconductor and Long Island Power Authority commission the grid's first transmission cable
2 July 2008—Last Wednesday, American Superconductor officially commissioned the world's first high-temperature superconductor power-transmission cable system to be used in a commercial power grid. Superconductors can supply lots of energy quickly, efficiently, and unobtrusively. They conduct 150 times the electricity of similarly sized copper wires. However, because of technological difficulties, the commercial development of superconductor power-cable systems has been slow. [...]
