Superconducting magnetic energy storage is mainly divided into two categories: superconducting magnetic energy storage systems (SMES) and superconducting power storage systems (UPS). SMES interacts directly with the grid to store and release electrical energy for grid or other purposes.
Superconducting energy storage has many advantages that set it apart from competing energy storage technologies: 1. High Efficiency and Longevity: As opposed to hydrogen storage systems with higher consumption rates, SMES offers more cost-effective and long-term energy storage, exceeding a 90% efficiency rating for storage energy storage solutions.
As early as the 1960s and 70s, researchers like Boom and Peterson outlined superconducting energy systems as the future of energy due to their extremely low power losses. Over time, this vision has evolved into two main technological pathways: Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and superconducting flywheel energy storage systems.
Superconducting materials that are commonly used are niobium-titanium, vanadium and mercury. The energy accumulated in the SMES system is released by connecting its conductive coil to an AC power converter, which is responsible for approximately 23% of heat loss for each direction.
As a result, the energy is stored in the coil in both magnetic and electric forms, and it may be recovered in a relatively short period. Ferrier invented the use of superconducting coils to store magnetic energy in 1970. The coil must be superconducting; otherwise, the energy is wasted in a few milliseconds due to the Joule effect.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%.
