Summary

The USA ETM 20-megawatt/hour project had to be closed in 1982 before construction. A 500-kilowatt/hour project is now in progress and is to be installed in Anchorage ML & P in 1997 as the first commercial SMES system. SMES should be characterized by the stored energy (W) and the power (P) from it, and wide variety of applications ranging from SMES's for transmission line stabilization to those for diurnal load levelling can be discussed in P-W map. The practical region and what scaling steps in the development have taken place are shown in the map. The state of the art of Japanese SMES research is also reported.
