The Coil and the Superconductor The superconducting coil, the heart of the SMES system, stores energy in the magnetic fieldgenerated by a circulating current (EPRI, 2002). The maximum stored energy is determined by two factors: a) the size and geometry of the coil, which determines the inductance of the coil.
There are various advantages of adopting superconducting magnetic energy storage over other types of energy storage. The most significant benefit of SMES is the minimal time delay between charge and discharge. Power is practically instantly available, and very high power output can be delivered for a short time.
As early as the 1960s and 70s, researchers like Boom and Peterson outlined superconducting energy systems as the future of energy due to their extremely low power losses. Over time, this vision has evolved into two main technological pathways: Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and superconducting flywheel energy storage systems.
A superconducting magnet coil as an energy storage device was first proposed by N. Mohan in 1973 as a theoretical and economic study. A numerical study was performed for the performance of a superconducting magnet coil for power stability.
