Abstract
The basic concept of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) was proposed by Irie and Yamafuji in 1969 [1]. The concept vs that electric energy col store into a superconducting coil without energy loss because the resistivity .s zero. R. Boom and H. Peterson at University of Wisconsin proposed the SMES system for use in electric power networks by combining a superconducting coil and an ac-to-dc converter in 1972 [2]. Their group had enthusiastically developed the concept of the large scale SMES as an alternative storage system of the hydro-pumped storage stations which are served in practice for diurnal electric energy storage. After their proposal, many researches have been carried out not only on conceptual design [3, 4] but also on development of components. Some of them were proposed to be installed as practical use [5, 6]. The recent plan is a small scale SMES to be installed for a power compensation in Florida [7].
