Abstract
The network comprises cells each constituted by a first channel (4, 4') of a material having selectively a superconductive state and a resistive state, refrigeration apparatus to maintain the first channel at a temperature below that which ensures superconductivity of the material below a critical current intensity in the channel, an electrical supply for the channel, and a second channel (5) branched in parallel to the first and having an electrical resistance (R). According to the invention, the two cells are coupled by at least one interconnection channel (8, 9, 10, 11; 8', 9', 10', 11') with unidirectional electrical conduction, extending from the input of one cell to the input of the other cell to input current into this latter or to derive it, a voltage control regulating the intensity of the current flowing from one cell toward the other in the interconnection channel.
