Tri-axial high-temperature superconducting (HTS) power cables are very efficient compared with other HTS power cables due to their reduced use of HTS wires and cryogenic surface area, resulting from the mutually layered structure of the three phases. However, the operating characteristics of tri-axial HTS power cables differ from other cables in a transient-state condition. In order to install HTS power cables in a real grid, feasibility verification through simulation or experimentation is

... ired in advance. Thus, the authors design a tri-axial HTS power cable and implement a power hardware-in-the-loop simulation that consists of a real time digital simulator-based simulation model and hardware devices including a power supply and a 1 m-long tri-axial HTS model cable. Simulation results show the stability verification under steady-state and transient-state conditions.
