Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for a self-monitoring conducting device that responds to strain and temperature changes. In one example, a self-monitoring conducting device comprises a superconducting cable having a core and one or more layers of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) tape architecture surrounding the core. The self-monitoring conducting device further includes optical fibers integrated within the superconducting cable. The optical fibers can monitor a state of the superconducting cable along a length of the superconducting cable.
