Abstract
A three-phase superferric transmission line is being developed for low-loss, high-power long-distance power transmission. Three REBCO tapes are configured in a delta configuration with polymer insulation and single-phase hydrogen refrigeration. Laminated ferromagnetic poles are located along both edges of each tape and serve as flux diverters to suppress shielding currents from transverse magnetic flux in the tapes and enable ultra-low-loss high-current operation.
Ultra-low-loss operation makes it possible for the first time to stage long-length buried GW transmission lines to connect distant wind and solar farms to cities where their power is needed.

Biography:
Dr. Peter Mastin McIntyre III is Mitchell-Heep Professor of Experimental Physics at Texas A&M University and President of Accelerator Technology Corp. He studied at the University of Chicago, where he received his Ph.D. in 1973. He performed experiments with colliding beams at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland until 1975, then joined Harvard University as Assistant Professor. In 1976 he was the first to propose to make colliding beams of protons and antiprotons using the large synchrotrons at Fermilab and at CERN. This work led to the discovery of the weak bosons at CERN in 1982. He developed several techniques for cooling intense beams of antiprotons. In 1980 he was awarded an IR100 award for the invention of a technique for high- efficiency collection of intense electron beams. Dr. McIntyre is an A.P. Sloan Foundation fellow, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and he is listed in Who's Who in America.
