As early as the 1960s and 70s, researchers like Boom and Peterson outlined superconducting energy systems as the future of energy due to their extremely low power losses. Over time, this vision has evolved into two main technological pathways: Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and superconducting flywheel energy storage systems.
Both use superconducting materials but store energy in different physical forms (magnetic fields versus rotational motion). SMES stores energy in a persistent direct current flowing through a superconducting coil, producing a magnetic field.
Storing energy by driving currents inside a superconductor might be the most straight forward approach – just take a long closed-loop superconducting coil and pass as much current as you can in it. As long as the superconductor is cold and remains superconducting the current will continue to circulate and energy is stored.
