Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES) are devices that are capable of storing energy in the magnetic field (The magnetic field is created by the flow of direct current in a superconducting coil, which has been cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconducting critical temperature). The SMES systems are capable of releasing stored energy instantaneously, and are useful for short duration energy storage.
Presence of energy storage devices such as capacitors, batteries, flywheel energy storage (FES) systems, the Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES) systems, and compressed air energy storage (CAES) are making the Energy Storage Devices Market highly competitive. This increase in competition is forcing vendors of SMES systems to explore new markets such as frequency regulation and energy delivery network.
The utility industry generates the highest demand for SMES devices. This industry is facing pressure due to increase in load growth and customers demand for improved power quality and reliability. Also, the players of the utility industry are demanding for cost effective, energy efficient and reliable energy storage devices. Since SMES systems are able to offer such advantages; they are becoming significant in utility applications.
