Excerpt:

Superconducting cables and wires are well developed and the first economic applications are foreseeable. One obstacle to widespread application is the still insufficient number of successful prototypes in long-term use. On top of that, there is a lack of knowledge about the many possible applications and the degree of maturity of the technology.
