What is Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES)? The method of storing energy in the magnetic field created by a low-temperature superconducting material. It is mainly used as an energy storage option in large-scale PV systems for smoothing over fluctuations in electricity generation. ← Back to Solar Energy Glossary
It is superconducting, which means electrical current flows through it with perfect efficiency - with no energy wasted as heat.
With the global trend of carbon reduction, high-speed maglevs are going to use a large percentage of the electricity generated from renewable energy.
