This storage system is known as Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) 2, 3. This rather simple concept was proposed by Ferrier in 1969 4 . The magnetic stored energy ( W mag ) is determined by a coil''s self inductance ( L ) and its current ( I ) or, equivalently, by the magnetic flux density and field integrated over all
One method to mitigate power fluctuations is to use storage batteries [8] and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) [9], [10]. An SMES system consists of superconductor coil, power-conditioning system, cryogenic refrigerator, and cryostat/vacuum vessel to keep the coil in the superconducting state.
The Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) has excellent performance in energy storage capacity, response speed and service time. Although it''s typically unavoidable, SMES systems often have to carry DC transport current while being subjected to the external AC magnetic fields.
Few energy storage systems in the form of compressed air energy storage (CAES) has drawback of site limitation and hence the cost of CAES is same as that of pumped hydro storage. Also, for NaS battery, the lifetime is shorter compared to that of SMES, and hence the annual cost of NaS battery is doubled when compared with SMES

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems use superconducting coils to efficiently store energy in a magnetic field generated by a DC current traveling through the coils.

Abstract — The SMES (Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) is one of the very few direct electric energy storage systems. Its energy density is limited by mechanical considerations to a rather low value on the order of ten kJ/kg, but its power density can be extremely high. This makes SMES particularly interesting for high-power and short
Nearly 70% of the expected increase in global energy demand is in the markets. Emerging and developing economies, where demand is expected to rise to 3.4% above 2019 levels. A device that can store electrical energy and able to use it later when required is called an "energy storage system".
