A Review on Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage System Applications

Abstract

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage is one of the most substantial storage devices. Due to its technological advancements in recent years, it has been considered reliable energy storage in many applications. This storage device has been separated into two organizations, toroid and solenoid, selected for the intended application constraints. It has also been used in many industries, such as transportation, renewable energy utilization, power system stabilization, and quality improvement. This chapter discusses various SMES structures and their applications in electric and power systems. Here, the authors try to deliver a comprehensive view for scholars whose research is related to the SMES by examination of the published articles while providing a brief guideline of this modern technology and its applications.
