TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the issues that must be addressed in the use of metalorganic deposition for low-cost YBCO film fabrication and summarizes the performance of 2G HTS wires prepared by this manufacturing process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2G high temperature superconductor (HTS) wire with a coated conductor technology is proposed for fault-tolerant HTS cable, which can achieve high resistance in quenched state during a fault event and at the same time provide significant heat capacity to limit the temperature rise.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of 2G high temperature superconducting wire manufactured by continuous reel-to-reel processes is nearing the 300 A/cm-width (77 K, self field) performance threshold for commercial power cable applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a solution-based Gd2O3 seed buffer layer was deposited by a web-coating technique over a metre-length tape of deformation-textured nickel with excellent texture and uniformity.

TL;DR: In this article, high critical current YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-x/ (YBCO) superconducting coated conductor composite (CCC) wires with excellent uniformity over length have been fabricated using an all-continuous process.
