Abstract: Superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES) has the merits of quick response, high power density, and long life-time cycle, etc Its has important applications in voltage quality control, frequency regulation, load balance and pulse power supply. SMES is listed as one of the major breakthrough directions of advance energy storage technology in “Innovative Action Plan for Energy Technology Revolution (2016-2030)”. This paper introduces the system structure of SMES and its advancement, sums up the application in the scenarios suitable for the characteristics of SMES such as power system and ship power supply, reviews the representative large-scale projects and research status of SMES, and discusses two classes of hybrid energy storage systems combined with hydrogen or electrochemical cells focusing on complementation and performance enhancement. Finally, this paper points out some challenges for the development and large-scale application of SMES, as well as the corresponding measures.

Key words: superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), hybrid energy storage, research progress, prospect
