Holbrook Superconductor Project
Superconducting transmission power cable
The Holbrook Superconductor Project is the world's first production superconducting transmission power cable.[1] The lines were commissioned in 2008.[2] The suburban Long Island electrical substation is fed by a 600 meter long tunnel containing approximately 155,000 meters of high-temperature superconductor wire manufactured by American Superconductor, installed underground and chilled to superconducting temperature with liquid nitrogen.[3]
