Abstract

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) systems are one of the superconducting technologies with envisaged applications in power systems. The flexibility of these systems allows a utilization as Energy Storage Systems (ESS) but also as power devices, for power quality applications. In the actual context of electric grids, with the emergence of the paradigm of Smart Grids, the possible applications of SMES systems are discussed, considering the actual state of the art in superconducting materials. Main envisaged applications are presented and a short comparison with other ESS is also performed, as a way to integrate SMES systems into the actual and upcoming context of power systems. Main already running or finished projects using not only standalone SMES systems but also a combination of multiple superconducting devices are also presented. Finally, a short description of concept projects using SMES systems is also given.
