Bottom-up cost model and learning curves for PLD REBCO tape. The present cost estimate is in the body of the paper, not the abstract; a curator who reads it can replace the derived current value of the atlas.

Findings

Conductor cost: 20 USD kA⁻¹ m⁻¹

Cost target for power applications stated by the authors; not a measured price.

we present a technology roadmap to reach the cost target of $20/(kA·m) required for power applications
