Current density * Carry optimized current in REBaCuO (dopants)
Mechanical * Substrate strong enough at high temperature to stand the formation of REBaCuO * Tape as a whole strong and flexible enough to be wound into cable and coils at 300 K * Tape must withstand longitudinal and transverse stresses during operation
Electrical stability * Carry excess current in Ag layer and in in Al, Cu,……. outer layers
Thermal stability * Enable heat transfer to the coolant
AC losses * Modify architecture to minimize AC losses (Roebel, striations)

What remains to be done ?
*Higher Jc values:
- higher homogeneity over whole length- thicker layers- enhanced pinning by nano-additives- reduced anisotropy by nano-additives
* Reduced ac losses

Disadvantages of Bi based systems:
* In presence of fields above 0.5 T only operational at T ≤ 30K* Costs of Ag will always be an obstacle (in particular with the future tendency of material costs) * Low mechanical strength (tensile and compressive)
Advantages of Bi based systems:
* High thermal stability
