Superconducting magnetic energy storage for asynchronous electrical systems

Patent Boenig, H.J.

An apparatus is described for providing superconducting magnetic energy storage for both a first and a second asynchronous electric system comprising: (a) a first converter connected to and associated with the first asynchronous electrical system, the first converter having a first and a second conductor output; (b) a second converter connected to and associated with the second asynchronous electrical system, the second converter having a first and a second conductor output, the second conductor output connected to the second conductor output of the first converter; (c) a interphase reactor having a first and a second end terminal and a tappedmore »« less
Superconducting magnetic energy storage for asynchronous electrical systems

Patent Boenig, Heinrich J. (Los Alamos, NM)

A superconducting magnetic energy storage coil connected in parallel between converters of two or more ac power systems provides load leveling and stability improvement to any or all of the ac systems. Control is provided to direct the charging and independently the discharging of the superconducting coil to at least a selected one of the ac power systems.

Ultra high energy capacitors using intense magnetic field insulation produced by high-T sub c superconducting elements for electrical energy storage and pulsed power applications

Patent De, D.K.

This patent describes a method of storing electrical energy for a prolonged period of time, it comprises: electrically charging a pair of spaced-apart electrically conductive capacitor plates; positioning a high-critical-temperature superconductor so that upon energization thereof with an electric current a magnetic field is generated between the capacitor plates; and circulating an electric current ins aid high-critical-temperature superconductor to generate a magnetic field between the capacitor plates of a field strength sufficient to prevent substantial loss of charge therefrom.
Method and apparatus for protecting superconducting magnetic energy storage systems during rapid energy dissipation

Patent Purcell, J. R.

A method and apparatus are provided for protecting a superconducting magnetic energy storage system having a coil from damage caused by a change of state of at least a portion of the coil from superconducting to normal conducting, and the consequent conversion of stored electrical energy to heat. A thermal capacitance is placed in thermal contact with the coil. The thermal capacitance is formed of a substance, such as nitrogen, which is solid at operating pressure at a temperature substantially above the transition temperature of the coil and that vaporizes below the temperature at which the system is damaged.

Application of superconductive magnetic energy storage in an asynchronous link between power systems

Journal Article Tam, K.S.; Kumar, P. (Virginia Polytechnic Inst. and State Univ., Blacksburg, VA (USA). Dept. of Electrical Engineering) - IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (USA)

This paper introduces the concept that SMES can be incorporated into a back-to-back DC link. With a SMES/DC link, a SMES system can be shared between several neighboring power systems. This would result in better economics for SMES usage for each participating power system. In addition to SMES operation, SMES/DC link also enables asynchronous connection and interchange of power between the interconnected systems. This paper demonstrates that SMES/DC link can be operated such that significant economic benefits can be obtained over pure power interchange or SMES operation alone. The basic principle of a SMES/C link, which is applicable to interconnectingmore »« less
