Pulsed superconducting inductive storage system
Abstract
A novel pulsed inductive storage system is described. A number of superconducting inductors are energized in series and subsequently discharged in parallel. The advantage of the scheme is that it spreads the energy stored over several inductors, reducing the current rating of the switches needed to provide the series-parallel interconnection. Furthermore, it improves appreciably the efficiency of energy transfer from the storage inductors to the load as compared to the efficiency of an inductive system using one storage inductor only. The feasibility of this inductive system is demonstrated on a system consisting of three storage inductors.
