Abstract
A superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system has been built to examine the contribution that stored energy can make a to power system. The helium cooled SC coil is connected to a single machine, model power system through a GTO bridge. The real and reactive power from the bridge into the power system can be separately controlled. A control strategy has been developed to improve the power system behaviour following a fault. The behaviour following a fault is illustrated theoretically. Considerable experience has been gained working with the cryogenic equipment and this is discussed. A comprehensive measurement system has been developed to support the experimental work. A set of experimental results using some of this system shows the results of a typical experiment involving the SC coil.
