Abstract
A superconducting electrical power distribution network has a superconducting bus bar and superconducting cables electrically connected to the bus bar at respective joints distributed along the bus bar. The network further has a first coolant system for providing first cryogenic fluid and first circuits for circulating the first cryogenic fluid provided by the first coolant system. The first circuits comprise: a bus bar flow path which extends along and thereby cools the bus bar, cable flow paths which respectively extend along and thereby cool the cables, cooling junctions where the bus bar and cable flow paths meet at the electrical connection joints, inflow lines which send the first cryogenic fluid from the first coolant system to the flow paths, and outflow lines which remove the first cryogenic fluid from the flow paths.
