Abstract
SCARLET, “Superconducting CAbles foR sustainabLe
Energy Transition”, is a new Horizon Europe project funded
for a duration of 4.5 years. The goal of the project is to
develop and industrially manufacture superconducting
cable systems at the gigawatt level, bringing them all the
way to the type test. SCARLET will be carried out by 15
partners in the fields of material sciences, cryogenics,
energy systems and electrical engineering. This paper will
give an overview of the main topics in SCARLET,
highlighting the innovations and challenges.
