In this paper, we investigate the sustainability, quantitative metrics, feasibility, and application of the SMES system.
(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.
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.
To effectively compete with the other energy storage systems (EES), SMES must be cost-effective (initial costs and lower lifetime costs). Compared to the other ESS, SMES displays high cyclic productivity exceeding 90%, high power density, rapid response time and indefinite discharging and charging cycles.
The first step is to design a system so that the volume density of stored energy is maximum. A configuration for which the magnetic field inside the system is at all points as close as possible to its maximum value is then required. This value will be determined by the currents circulating in the superconducting materials.
In SMES systems, energy is stored in dc form by flowing current along the superconductors and conserved as a dc magnetic field . The current-carrying conductor functions at cryogenic (extremely low) temperatures, thus becoming a superconductor with negligible resistive losses while it generates magnetic field.
