Abstract
The evolution of the University of Wisconsin (UW) superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) designs for electric utility use is traced from 1970 to the present. The UW-SMES design principles were used in the 1987-90 ETM competition by the EBASCO team of subcontractors (UW, Westinghouse, CBI, and Teledyne). Some recent post-ETM design improvements are discussed. The Wisconsin emphasis on 1.8 K pool cooling, cryogenic stability, and ripple design is stressed.<>
