Discharge performance analysis of the Swiss superconductive magnetic energy storage model

This paper reports that the study of a 50 kWh superconductive magnetic energy storage model is in progress to demonstrate the feasibility of a 1 MWh prototype concept. The results of AC-losses, steady-state helium flow, and multi-pulse discharge analyses have shown that a continuous coil operation may be performed with dead times between pulses ≥7-20 min, depending on the effective temperature margin
