Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) | Climate
Potential of SMES SMES has the potential to provide electrical storage to a majority of the applications. However, this technology is still emerging, and more R&D will be needed to make
Over time, this vision has evolved into two main technological pathways: Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and superconducting flywheel energy storage systems. Both use superconducting materials but store energy in different physical forms (magnetic fields versus rotational motion).
First, some materials carry current with no resistive losses. Second, electric currents produce magnetic fields. Third, magnetic fields are a form of pure energy which can be stored. SMES combines these three fundamental principles to efficiently store energy in a superconducting coil.
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.
