Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a superconducting coil that has been cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconducting critical temperature. This use of superconducting coils to store magnetic energy was invented by M. Ferrier in 1970.
Thus, the number of publications focusing on this topic keeps increasing with the rise of projects and funding. Superconductor materials are being envisaged for Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES). It is among the most important energy storage systems particularly used in applications allowing to give stability to the electrical grids.
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.
Currently, a number of these units are operational in Japan. Through SMES, superconductivity provides an alternative to store magnetic energy and power an electrical circuit without energy conversion. These SMES have become a realizable device thanks to approved advancements in superconducting materials and cryogenics.
