Abstract
The University of Wollongong (UoW) has received funding for the research and development of a high transition temperature (HTS) superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) device designed to operate at 40 K. This paper provides an update on work previously reported at AUPEC (2001) and summarises progress in the areas of computer assisted modelling, electromagnetic and thermal coil design, electronic control system, current leads and the cryogenic system. The proposed coil design for the SMES will be evaluated and discussed with respect to its advantages and limitations.
