The adoption of REBCO tape in the high-field magnets and the magnets for compact fusion technology development is attributed mainly to the material’s better in-field performance and higher mechanical strength. The improvements in the performance and properties, which is driven by the application requirements, will continue. In the path to achieve a much greater production capacity, we also face the challenges in quality assurance, high-field testing, cost reduction, etc.

This presentation summarizes the recent activities for HTS wire production and development at SuperPower Inc.
