Energy storage in magnetic fields

Martin O. Stern

Energy, 1988, vol. 13, issue 2, 137-140

Abstract: With the advent of high-temperature, high-current-density superconductors,1,2 one can store electrical energy in superconducting magnets at higher densities, in terms of required mass or volume, than is possible for currently-available electrical-energy storage systems. High densities are especially important in applications requiring mobility or transportability, e.g., for terrestrial vehicles or for systems in space. Unfortunately, it is in these applications that magnetic forces make high energy densities difficult to achieve.
