SuperLink is an innovative superconducting power cable system designed for power-dense transmission, enabling the transfer of large amounts of electric power through a compact cable design.
- Testing phase: The ongoing tests of the superconducting power cable system are expected to be completed in Q2 2025.
- Specifications: SuperLink will span 15 kilometers, with a power rating of 500 MW and a voltage level of 110 kV.
- Installation: To minimize construction work, SuperLink will be installed in very compact ducts.
- Location: This system will deliver substantial power through a narrow corridor in the heart of Munich.
- Cooling System: The superconducting cable will be cooled to -200ºC using natural fuel nitrogen in a closed circuit. A highly reliable cooling system with redundant key hardware components will be an integral part of the setup.
