After a brief background, which includes a summary of the probably now defunct low-temperature superconducting technology of the 1960s and 1970s, the article concentrates on the renaissance of interest in SPT with the advent of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) in the 1980s. AC and DC transmission and warm dielectric and cold dielectric conductors are discussed and some specific projects are outlined. State of the art is taken as current at the time of the Applied Superconductivity Conference 2004 [reported in IEEE Transactions in Applied Superconductivity 15 (2005)]. The benefits of HTS SPT are outlined, notably increased capacity and efficiency and its potential impact on energy conservation and the environment. The current state of development of HTS from first- to second-generation conductors is described, as is the possible role of magnesium diboride (MgB 2 ). Examples of future trends evolving worldwide are given and, finally, an assessment of the capability and funding for applied superconductivity in the UK is made. 12 Energy Policy 36 ARTICULO Jones, Harry 40561 Transmisión de energía eléctrica 7803 169284 169284 0 0 0 0 237103 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200044082 0 200044082 2026-03-05 15:11:29 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
