HEFEI, April 12 -- The experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), or the Chinese "artificial sun," achieved a steady-state high confinement plasma operation for 403 seconds on Wednesday, a key step toward the development of a fusion reactor. The breakthrough, achieved after more than 120,000 shots, greatly improved the
Hasan Ali 1. Energy storage is key to integrating renewable power. Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems store power in the magnetic field in a superconducting coil. Once the coil is charged, the current will not stop and the energy can in theory be stored indefinitely. This technology avoids the need for lithium for batteries.
Lithium-ion energy storage has an energy capacity of around 0.25-25 MWh at a cost of 600-2500 $/kWh. In power capacity, lithium-ion storage has is rated between 0.005-50 kW with a price tag of 1200-4000 $/kW. The energy density of Lithium-ion batteries is quite high at 200-500 kWh m -3.

A Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system stores energy in a superconducting coil in the form of a magnetic field. The magnetic field is created with the flow of a direct current (DC) through the coil. To maintain the system charged, the coil must be cooled adequately (to a "cryogenic" temperature) so as to
