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.
Here the energy is stored by disconnecting the coil from the larger system and then using electromagnetic induction from the magnet to induce a current in the superconducting coil. This coil then preserves the current until the coil is reconnected to the larger system, after which the coil partly or fully discharges.
This means that there exists a maximum charging rate for the superconducting material, given that the magnitude of the magnetic field determines the flux captured by the superconducting coil. In general power systems look to maximize the current they are able to handle.
