Requirements and possible configurations for a SMES operating in 15 su
bstations are discussed. The system will experience similar to 25 full
discharges a year. Such a SMES system should provide 1 to 2 second-ri
de through capability, a response time of less than 8 milliseconds, an
d demonstrate a high efficiency.
