Abstract

The increasing deployment of decentralized power generation based on intermittent renewable resources to reach environmental targets creates new challenges for power systems stability. Several technologies and approaches have been proposed in recent years including the use of superconducting magnetic energy storage. This study focuses on the review of existing superconducting magnetic energy storage systems for power quality control purposes. Such systems can supply and absorb the rated power level within seconds, promoting fast power quality regulation. Systems for power quality services such as frequency regulation, power oscillation damping, power fluctuation suppression, and active power filtering are identified and described. First, the physical characterization of superconducting magnets concerning geometries, materials, associated inductances, and nominal magnetic energy storage capacities is conducted. Then, the functional description of several current conversion circuits and systems used as interfaces for superconducting magnets is performed. The existing methodologies and systems to perform the control of current converters for different power control services and applications are also identified and described. Finally, the results regarding the number of different systems identified for each power quality control service are presented, and their applicability is discussed based on the adopted control approach. Challenges concerning the development of new systems to improve the power quality on grids with high penetration of decentralized energy resources from intermittent renewables are also identified.
