There are several small SMES units available for use and several larger test bed projects. Several 1 MW·h units are used for control in installations around the world, especially to provide power quality at manufacturing plants requiring ultra-clean power, such as microchip fabrication facilities. These facilities have also been used to provide stability in distribution systems. SMES is also used.

The energy density, efficiency and the high discharge rate make SMES useful systems to incorporate into modern energy grids and green energy initiatives. The SMES system's uses can be categorized into three categories: power supply systems, control systems and emergency/contingency systems. FACTS FACTS () devices are static devices that can be installed in

Superconducting energy storage systems utilize superconducting magnets to convert electrical energy into electromagnetic energy for storage once charged via the converter from the grid, magnetic fields form within each coil that is then utilized by superconductors as magnets and. . Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a superconducting coil that has been cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconducting critical temperature. This use of superconducting coils to store. . Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is an innovative system that employs superconducting coils to store electrical energy directly as electromagnetic energy, which can then be released back into the grid or other loads as needed. External power charges the SMES system where it will be stored; when needed, that same power can be discharged and used externally. This flowing current generates a magnetic field, which is the means of energy storage.
