“…The cooling system is used to provide a low-temperature operating environment for superconducting energy storage magnets. In recent years, with the development of small refrigeration technology, 'zero volatility systems' that do not require the addition of low-temperature liquids and 'no lowtemperature liquid systems' that require pure conduction cooling have been developed for cooling system [25,26]. It is completely feasible to achieve a 'zero volatility system' in low-temperature cooling systems for high-temperature superconducting magnet applications.…”

The integration of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) into the power grid can achieve the goal of storing energy, improving energy quality, improving energy utilization, and enhancing system stability. The early SMES used low-temperature superconducting magnets cooled by liquid helium immersion, and the complex low-temperature cooling system greatly limited the promotion and application of such devices. SMES based on high temperature superconductivity (HTS) materials can operate in the temperature range of 15–30 K, which simplifies the cooling system and reduces the cooling loss, and greatly improves the operating efficiency and stability of the cooling system. In this paper, the overall design of a 5 MW/10 MJ SMES based on state of the art HTS materials is achieved. The structural parameters of YBCO and MgB2 cables are introduced and the structural parameters of energy storage magnet are analyzed. And the cooling scheme for SMES is provided.
