Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) is a promising candidate for electric power compensation. The target applications of SMES are widely covered with voltage sag, instant shortage, power stabilization, frequency control, load fluctuation, and load leveling. High-temperature superconductors are expected to reduce refrigeration energy requirements for superconducting coils....
As the proportion of intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar power increases in the power grid, the importance of energy storage technology in the power system becomes increasingly evident. Among various technologies, Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is unique for its fast response, dynamic power compensation, high charge-discharge cycles, and long lifespan, offering...
To fulfill the demand for high-performance magnetic fields in extreme environments, such as those found in maglev trains, the implementation of superconducting magnets with high cur-rent-carrying density offers a lightweight alternative to traditional copper or permanent magnets. This is particularly significant for enhancing the safety and cost-effectiveness of high-speed maglev trains. In...
For the situation of energy compensation that needs several kA level current capacities, we developed a high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage system. This HTS SMES system can fill the gap in research on superconducting energy storage systems in the field of high current-carrying energy compensation. The SMES coil consists of 8 sub-solenoid coils serially connected with each...
Pulsed power applications, such as pulsed-field magnets, electromagnetic launchers, and fusion experiments, require high-performance, efficient, and compact energy storage systems. These applications demand large amounts of energy in short bursts, often at high rates, which traditional energy storage technologies cannot support effectively or are highly inefficient. Superconducting Magnetic...
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev has the advantages of strong suspension ability, high speed, and low operating cost, which is an important candidate technology for future high-speed rail transportation, and the on-board HTS magnet is one of its core components. In recent years, metal-insulated (MI) winding technology has brought better mechanical stability and good...
The V-ACCESS (Vessel Advanced Clustered and Coordinated Energy Storage Systems) project brings together expertise on supercapacitors, superconductive magnetic energy storage systems (SMES), design and control of shipboard power systems, power electronics, lifetime cycle analysis, and ship classification to increase the technology readiness level (TRL) of hybrid storage systems, i.e. combining...
