Abstract

In light of high energy storage efficiency and very quick response in energy delivery, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems are expected to find many opportunities of application for power system stabilization and for load leveling in place of pumping-up power plants. The authors have continued studies on SMES application to the power system since 1982 [l–3] and recently carried out a field tests, mainly relating to system stabilization, with a SMES connected to Ariuragawa hydropower station of Kyushu Electric Power Company. This paper describes some results of the test.
