Abstract
A method for cooling high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable comprising receiving a first flow of coolant at a first section of HTS cable and permitting the first flow of coolant to flow therethrough. The method also includes receiving a second flow of coolant at a second section of HTS cable and permitting the second flow of coolant to flow therethrough. The first section of HTS cable and said second section of HTS cable are coupled via a cable joint, the cable joint electrically connecting the first and second sections of HTS cable. The cable joint is in fluid communication with at least one refrigeration module. The cable joint includes at least one conduit configured to permit a third flow of coolant between the cable joint and the at least one refrigeration module through a coolant line separate from the first and second sections of HTS cable.
