We have spent considerable time studying high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cable for a long time. In Japan, a national project of the HTS cable system in a real grid operation, funded by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), started a decade earlier, which meant we could carry out real system operation for a year several years ago. We subsequently studied two issues on a new national project. One involved improving the performance of the cooling system, while the other involved safety verification against events possibly occurring in a system such as a ground fault or a short circuit. I will report on the outline.
