  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Large Scale Renewable Power Generation

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

With the rapid development of clean and renewable energy technology, energy storage devices are more eagerly required. The applicable high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials achieved arouse the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) devices having unique properties to play a substantial role. Superior characteristics have made the SMES technology attractive and a perspective option to practical applications broadly, especially for smart grids (SGs). SMES technology is described and verified including principle, circuit topology, control strategy, and device performance to form a comprehensive understanding of the emerging energy storage technology using the advanced HTS material and associated technology. SMES application is then introduced with the emphasis to develop relevant concepts to suit smart grids (SGs).
