Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show how SMES devices, if arranged with mo re than two magnetic dipoles, can perform better. The analysis is carr ied out either considering or not the presence of a ferromagnetic shie ld, In the latter case a shape optimization of the iron shield is perf ormed using a combined stochastic/deterministic method. The paper show s bow advantages can be taken by evaluating the sensitivity matrix of the iron shape optimization by means of a Lagrangian formulation of th e Maxwell's equations.
