Abstract
Large-capacity superconducting power cables are in the spotlight to replace existing underground transmission power cables for energy power transmission. Among them, the three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable has the economic advantage of reducing the superconducting shielding layer by enabling magnetic shielding when the three phases are homogeneous without an independent superconducting shielding layer for magnetic shielding. In order to develop the three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable, the electrical and structural design should be carried out to construct the superconducting layer. However, the thermal design and analysis for the cooling of the three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable must be done first, so that the electrical design can be made using the temperature transferred to the superconducting layer. The three-phase coaxial superconducting cable requires a cooling system to circulate the cryogenic refrigerant for cooling below a certain temperature, and the structure of the cable through which the cryogenic refrigerant travels must also be analyzed. In this paper, the authors conducted a longitudinal temperature analysis according to the structure of the refrigerant circulation system of the cable and proposed a refrigerant circulation system suitable for this development. The temperature profile according to this analysis was then used as a function of temperature for the electrical (superconducting and insulating layers) design of the three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable. It is also expected to be used to analyze the cooling structure of the three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable installed in the real grid system.

Summary
In response to increasing global energy demand, interest in energy transmission as well as energy supply is increasing. In order to develop a three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable, the electrical and structural design of the cable must proceed. The authors conducted an analysis of the cable temperature distribution according to the refrigerant circulation method of the three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable with various structures as well as the optimum structure according to the cable application length. The analytical results of this paper will serve as useful information for the analysis and determination of the cooling and circulating structure system of the commercial-grade three-phase coaxial superconducting power cable [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18].
