Abstract

Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) is working with Anchorage Municipal Light and Power (ML&P) to design; manufacture and install a 30 MW, 1800 MJ SMES system in Anchorage, Alaska. This will be the first mid-sized SMES system that will demonstrate full four-quadrant utility application. The system will consist of a superconducting magnet a power conversion system, a refrigeration system and a control system. This paper describes the general system, the utility applications, and the magnet and conductor design.<>
