“…Moreover, the range of applications, fields, and markets for SMES technology would be further broadened, and the combination with other emerging energy technologies would receive more attention as a target or research direction for testing, experimentation, as well as technology adaptation in the laboratory at this stage. It also has a more sophisticated and complex cooling and temperature control system with a high maintenance frequency, which means that based on the trend, HTS may gradually replace LTS in the future [16]. It could be necessary to introduce monitoring components and related sensing systems in the whole SMES system to meet the demand for timely feedback on the status of the device and smooth operation to meet the standards and strengthen the self-risk detection capability of the system itself.…”

In recent decades, with global energy consumption increasing year by year, the issue of energy and the environment has become one of the hot issues of concern. In this paper, the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) technology is selected as the research object, and its sustainability and environmental efficiency are discussed and analyzed based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results show that the characteristics and performance advantages of SMES technology and devices make it possible to fill the energy supply gap in a timely manner without polluting or disturbing the atmosphere and water environment. Through the study of the existing application direction, development status and policies of SMES technology, this paper also conclude that the current application of this technology is feasible and effective in renewable power generation systems, hybrid power systems and electric vehicles but still has the problems of high cost, which leads to incomplete scale up and low promotion rate. Therefore, this paper presents the outlook and prediction of its future trends, such as iterative superconducting materials and the introduction of monitoring systems. This paper expects to find and evaluate how SMES would meet sustainability goals and ecological requirements and the corresponding further development directions.

In this paper, 16 HTS pancake coil modules made with 32 double pancake coils were designed, analyzed, built, assembled, and tested to show feasibility of small sized HTS SMES ( -SMES). Rated current is 200 A and operating temperature is 20 30 K. Evolution strategy was used for coil optimization and FEM was used for magnetic field calculation. After building the modular toroid coils, a vacuum chamber was built to contain the coil. Three GM cryocoolers were used to reach the operating temperature. Bridge type converter was used to supply the current to the SMES coil modules. Operation showed a close agreement with the calculated result.
