Several successful HTS cable projects in the US and around the world have demonstrated the technical viability of building and operating these cables in the utility grid. As 2G wire production is developed and expanded to support the transition from 1G to 2G, various technical requirements must be met to support large scale production of HTS cables. These requirements include mechanical and electrical properties in addition to the obvious needs for cost reduction. Technical specifications and requirements of large volume production of 2G wires will be discussed as related to ongoing commercial HTS cable projects.
