Testing for a new installation of second-generation high-temperature superconducting electric cable on New York's Long Island is scheduled to start by the first week of October. The installation, a demonstration project under a public-private partnership, will advance the development of very-low-impedance high-temperature superconducting cable, which can deliver large amounts of electric power without the losses associated with conventional conductors. Long Island Power Authority plans to commission the 600-meter cable on its transmission grid in Suffolk County, N.Y., by Dec. 3.
