A responsive cryogenic power distribution system for maintaining cryogenic refrigeration throughout a superconducting network. The responsive cryogenic power distribution system includes a plurality of cryogenic cable arrangements and cryogenic cooling stations, arranged to form a single master closed loop arrangement and a plurality of sub closed loop arrangements, enclosed within the single master closed loop arrangement. The system also includes sensors and controllers that allow for reconfiguration in the event of a loss of one or more cryogenic cooling stations and/or one or more cryogenic cable arrangements.
