The superconducting magnetic energy storage system(SMES)has been studied om
its advantages over another type of energy storage system With considering
the advantages of SMES, it is recognized that SMES is one of advanced energ
y storage systems equipped for power plant in the future In this paper, SME
S system equipped for an independent power producer (IPP) power plant is pr
oposed and the operational scenario of the total plant is discussed. And al
so, Some types of SMES coil for this study are designed in size or another
parameters and the quantitative comparison among them is mentioned.
