The 30 MJ superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit, devised to damp unstable power oscillations in the Western US Power System, was placed into operation in the Bonneville power Administration (BPA) Tacoma Substation. Cooldown of the 30 MJ superconducting coil was completed, and helium was liquefied for the coil environment in the containing nonconducting fiberglass reinforced plastic dewar. The converter was connected to the coil and the first operation of the SMES system occurred in March 1983. BPA developed a demand signal algorithm for computer control of the power subsystem. The SMES unit was operated for system response and has now operated successfully for extended periods. BPA has installed a number of faults signal alarms that are transmitted by microwave link to their main dispatch-control center at Dittmer to monitor the SMES system when in unmanned operation.
