Abstract
Short rolled multifilamentary BSCCO-2223 oxide-powder-in-tube (OPIT) wire has reached a core critical current density J/sub c/ over 73,000 A/cm/sup 2/ (77 K, self-field, 1 /spl mu/V/cm) in multiple samples, with engineering (full-cross-section) current density J/sub c/ of 22,800 A/cm/sup 2/ (77 K, self-field, 1 /spl mu/V/cm). Regular production wires several hundred meters long show average engineering current density over 10,000 A/cm/sup 2/ (77 K, self-field, 1 /spl mu/V/cm), a benchmark for commercial electric power applications such as cables and motors. Cost studies indicate that cost-performance below $10/kA-m is attainable for full-scale production levels, Next-generation YBCO-123 coated conductor technology offers further potential cost-performance improvements.
