The SMES stores energy in the magnetic field built up by a DC [direct current] current flowing through the superconducting coil. In a conventional coil made of copper wire the magnetic energy would be rapidly dissipated as heat due to the resistance of the wires. If superconducting wires are used, energy can be stored for a long time. 5, record 1, English, - superconducting%20magnetic%20energy%20storage
