Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage
(SMES)
  SMES technology uses the superconducting characteristics of low-temperature materials to produce intense magnetic fields to store energy. SMES has been proposed as a storage option to support large-scale use of photovoltaics and wind as a means to smooth out fluctuations in power generation.
