Analytical design of a Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage for pulsed power peak

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage can be used to produce very high pulsed power peak. A superconducting coil is magnetically coupled with another coil linked to the load. During the storage phase, the current is constant. In order to transfer the energy to the load, we cause the quench of the superconducting coil. It is very important to know the efficiency of the transfer and how much energy is discharged in the Helium vessel. In this paper, we propose an analytical method which enables us to calculate very quickly the electrical parameters of such a device.
