Abstract
We extend the quantititative string evolution model of Martins and Shellard to superconducting strings by introducing a simple toy model for the evolution of the currents. This is based on the dynamics of a `superconducting correlation length'. We derive the relevant evolution equations and discuss the importance of plasma effects. Some consequences of our results are also suggested.
