Study on the Application of SMES to Improve Power Quality

Abstract:

With the development of modern technology, high quality power supply becomes more desirable in everyday life. Among problems related with the power quality, the most urgent is the voltage dip; with the application of power electronics devices, the power system is polluted by harmonics. SMES (Superconducting Magnet Energy Storage) system can not only compensate the voltage dip, but also provide a load-fluctuation compensation and active power filter. In the paper the main structure of SMES system is introduced; the necessity to use SMES are demonstrated by analyzing the problem of power quality. The analysis shows that SMES system is effective in improving the power quality.
