SMES Magnetic Energy Storage

Technical Overview

SMES systems are engineered to securely store electrical energy directly in the magnetic field of a superconducting coil, delivering continuous power cycles with absolutely zero resistive losses.

Featuring a blazing-fast charge and discharge response time of less than 1ms — the fastest of any current grid storage technology — SMES is perfect for grid frequency regulation, rapid UPS support for data centers, and specialized high-power pulses for military applications.

Benefits & Applications

  • Superior Lifecycle: Offers practically unlimited cycle life without suffering any capacity fade typical of Li-ion.
  • Compact Engineering: The use of REBCO enables significantly more compact SMES installations operating at 77K compared to bulky LTS counterparts at 4.2K.
  • Incredible Speed: Response speeds measure up to 1000x faster than traditional Lithium-ion storage setups.
  • Versatile Deployments: Essential for highly demanding environments including advanced railguns and modern grid stabilizations.
