It stores energy in a superconducting coil in the form of a magnetic field generated by a circulating current. The maximum stored energy is determined by two factors. The first is the size and geometry of the coil, which determines the inductance of the coil. Obviously, the larger the coil, the greater the stored energy.
The superconducting wire is precisely wound in a toroidal or solenoid geometry, like other common induction devices, to generate the storage magnetic field. As the amount of energy that needs to be stored by the SMES system grows, so must the size and amount of superconducting wire.
