High-temperature superconductors are now used mostly in large-scale applications, such as magnets and scientific apparatus. Overcoming barriers such as alternating current losses, or high manufacturing costs, will enable many more applications such as motors, generators and fusion reactors.
Unlike conventional batteries, which use chemicals to store energy, superconducting magnetic-energy storage (SMES) uses a magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a coil of superconducting material. Once the coil is charged, the energy can be stored nearly indefinitely with little to no decay, provided that the cooling is maintained.
Developments in HTS manufacture have the potential to overcome these barriers. In this Review, we set out the problems, describe the potential of the technology and offer (some) solutions. High-temperature superconductors are now used mostly in large-scale applications, such as magnets and scientific apparatus.
But the 1986 discovery of high-temperature superconductivity paved the way for broader applications. “High temperature” isn’t room temperature. It refers to materials that superconduct above −195.79 °C, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen.
Though, SMES is the most efficient ESS with a fast response quality, its cost increases with its energy storage capacity. The hybrid energy storage technology is mainly planned to reduce the cost of SMES by diverting the job to other ESS where slow and long time response is required.
As the critical temperature of MgB 2 is 20 K (in between HTS, 77–90 K and LTS, 4.2 K) it can be treated as Medium Temperature Superconductor (MTS). After selecting the HTS tape, the arrangement of coil should be selected depending on the rating of the proposed SMES. The most common arrangements of superconducting coil are solenoid and toroid.
