China's first kilometer-class high-temperature superconducting cable demonstration project was officially launched in Shanghai Baoshan City Industrial Park. As an important sign of the practical industrialization of China ’s superconducting cables, this demonstration project is expected to go online by the end of 2019, and it will become an important breakthrough for Shanghai to accelerate the industrialization of superconducting technology and an important measure to launch the “Made in Shanghai” brand.
With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, high-temperature superconducting technology, as a leading technology with strategic significance, has shown wide application prospects in urban power grid transformation, magnetic levitation transportation, and large scientific installations. In particular, high-temperature superconducting power transmission has the advantages of low loss, large capacity, small size, and no pollution. It is expected to be applied and promoted in urban power grid reconstruction, narrow corridor backbone power grid, special needs and difficult conventional technology.
The demonstration project started this time will comprehensively and systematically verify the reliability, stability and economics of autonomous high-temperature superconducting technology coupled with the power grid in the central urban area of a megacity, accumulate first-hand application data and experience, and promote The conductive material lays the foundation for the industrialized application and promotion in the smart grid transformation.
The reporter learned from the kick-off meeting that the development and manufacture of the engineering cable was completed in Baoshan District and the application was conducted in Xuhui District. It is a pilot application of this new material before industrialization. With the pilot application, in the near future, high-temperature superconducting power transmission is expected to take the lead in industrializing the construction of Shanghai's smart grid, laying the foundation for the large-scale application of superconducting materials in the field of power transmission and distribution.
According to the joint introduction of Shanghai Economic and Information Commission and Baoshan District, combined with the vision and needs of smart grid construction in Shanghai's megacities, comprehensive consideration is given to the industrial advantages of Shanghai's new material innovations, high-end application clusters, and the continuous rise in overall industrial costs. Shanghai It will be driven by demonstration project construction, with Baoshan City Industrial Park as the main bearing area, and actively promote the planning and construction of high-temperature superconducting industrial bases, and focus on cultivating and developing high-temperature superconducting as a strategic frontier new material industry, and make a good industry outlook. layout.
