Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a superconducting coil that has been cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconducting critical temperature. This use of superconducting coils to store magnetic energy was invented by M. Ferrier in 1970. A typical SMES system includes three parts: superconducting coil, power conditioning system an

World''s Largest Superconducting Flywheel Power Storage

Therefore, the power loss is minimal although a large flywheel is used, and it is a very practical system which enables stable power generation over a long period. The completed system is
