Research Abstract

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) is expected as an ideal energy storage system because of high efficiency and high power density. In this work, an experimental study on power converter systems for superconducting coils was carried out, and a 200 V-100 A class prototype converter has been developed. From the experimental results using a superconducting coil cooled with liquid helium (4.2 K), the power control capability to the superconducting coil was verified, and the feasibility as a power converter system for SMES was demonstrated.
