Use Of Superconductivity In Energy Storage - The Proceedings Of An Iea Symposium - Hardcover

The objective of this symposium was to present the worldwide situation of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES). This volume outlines present and future requirements and measures for energy storage in electrical networks. It reports existing facilities, design studies, and development programmes for SMES and describes potential application areas. Future prospects of SMES are discussed, taking into account the impact of high temperature superconductivity.
