1. Protection of sensitive customers and auxiliary services
• Harmonic compensation• Power factor correction
Auxiliary network services provided by the PCSduring normal operation (mitigated penalty due tocooling and idling)
Power interruption iscancelled by the SMES

2. Leveling of impulsive/fluctuating loads by SMESPl
oad
• Continuous management of high power makes cooling and idling loss negligible• No battery can be considered due to the prohibitive number of cycles• Advantages brought by SMES can be significant also for moderate size systems
• AC loss may be a limiting factor

3. Hybrid SMES - Battery systems
Complementary characteristics exploited
• Battery provides long term basepower – hence energy
• SMES provides peak power andfast cycling
Advantages:
• Reduced power rating of batteries• Reduced energy rating of SMES• Reduced wear and tear of batteries
(no minor cycling)Qualitative (not a real case)

5. Combined use with synergistic technologies
A 350kW/2.5MWh Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES)pilot plant was completed and tied to grid during2011-2014 in England.
Fundraising for further development is in progress
• LAES is used as energy intensive storage• Large cooling power (not all) is available for SMES
due to the presence of Liquid air at 70 K• SMES is used as power intensive storage
Effective hybrid (Energy intensive +Power intensive) storage can beconceived based on combined useof SMES and LAES
A 1-2 MW – 5 min ratingmay be of interest

• SMES is an established power intensive storage technology.
• Improvements on SMES technology can be obtained bymeans of new generations superconductors compatible withcryogen free cooling (MgB2 and HTS).
• Cooling and standby losses needs to be carefully consideredwhen evaluating the viability of SMES systems.
• SMES and Supercapacitors have very similar characteristics.Careful investigation needs to be done in order to choosethe most suitable solution.
