Abstract: Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) is an energy storage technology that stores energy in the form of DC electricity that is the source of a DC magnetic field. The conductor for carrying the current operates at cryogenic temperatures where it is a superconductor and thus has virtually no resistive losses as it produces the magnetic field.

(1) When the short is opened, the stored energy is transferred in part or totally to a load by lowering the current of the coil via negative voltage (positive voltage charges the magnet). The Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is thus a current source [2, 3]. It is the “dual” of a capacitor, which is a voltage source.
Superconducting magnet with shorted input terminals stores energy in the magnetic flux density (B) created by the flow of persistent direct current: the current remains constant due to the absence of resistance in the superconductor.
A SMES operating as a FACT was the first superconducting application operating in a grid. In the US, the Bonneville Power Authority used a 30 MJ SMES in the 1980s to damp the low-frequency power oscillations. This SMES operated in real grid conditions during about one year, with over 1200 hours of energy transfers.
The energy content of current SMES systems is usually quite small. Methods to increase the energy stored in SMES often resort to large-scale storage units. As with other superconducting applications, cryogenics are a necessity.
The heart of a SMES is its superconducting magnet, which must fulfill requirements such as low stray field and mechanical design suitable to contain the large Lorentz forces. The by far most used conductor for magnet windings remains NbTi, because of its lower cost compared to the available first generation of high-Tc conductors.
A typical SMES system includes three parts: superconducting coil, power conditioning system and cryogenically cooled refrigerator. Once the superconducting coil is energized, the current will not decay and the magnetic energy can be stored indefinitely. The stored energy can be released back to the network by discharging the coil.
