Abstract
On the basis of a 22MJ/10MVA unit without stray field, we determine mi nimal performances for High T-c Superconducting (BTS) wires, in order to obtain HTS Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) competiti ve compared with Low T-c Superconducting (LTS) ones. The cost equation mainly considers the wire volume, the fabrication process and losses. We then recommend HTS critical current densities and operating magnet ic fields close to the present state of the art for short samples. A 3 0% gain for HTS SMES compared with LTS one could be expected.
