The first step is to design a system so that the volume density of stored energy is maximum. A configuration for which the magnetic field inside the system is at all points as close as possible to its maximum value is then required. This value will be determined by the currents circulating in the superconducting materials.
Nowadays, the energy storage systems based on lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells (FCs) and super capacitors (SCs) are playing a key role in several applications such as power generation, electric vehicles, computers, house-hold, wireless charging and industrial drives systems.
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).
