Abstract :
SMES devices are an attractive solution for pulsed current sources. The specific stored energy is moderate therefore it has to be improved. HTS materials offer opportunities in terms of current carrying capabilities as well as mechanical strength. The specific magnetic storage capability is presented as a function of the aspect ratio of solenoid. Shape optimization is discussed using the strongest superconducting tapes available.
