(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.
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.
Keywords: SMES, storage devices, large-scale superconductivity, magnet. 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.
Here the energy is stored by disconnecting the coil from the larger system and then using electromagnetic induction from the magnet to induce a current in the superconducting coil. This coil then preserves the current until the coil is reconnected to the larger system, after which the coil partly or fully discharges.
The superconducting magnet does not operate in persistent mode. The magnet discharge is mainly due to the current leads and the external circuit, in particular the switch S. There is no real specification in term of persistent operation for the magnet. This can even be a little resistive.
Fundamentals of superconducting magnetic energy storage …
Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems use superconducting coils to efficiently store energy in a magnetic field generated by a DC current traveling through the coils. Due to the electrical resistance of a typical cable, heat energy is lost when electric current is transmitted, but this problem does not exist in an SMES system. The technology is based on a …
