Markets and Future Costs of Superconducting Magnets and Superconducting Wire
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6EDZK)
Present-day volume prices of HTSs (high temperature superconducting) wire and tape range from $150 to $200/kA-m (kiloAmps per meter). Many analyses of the commercial viability of superconducting applications show that a conductor cost of $50/kA-m (kiloAmps per meter) is the tipping point for widespread application for electric power use.
