Defense Nuclear Agency Fiscal Year 1991 Program Document: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense Agencies (Supports Congressional Budget Estimates January 1990)

Abstract

This project covers the design, construction, and test of a Superconductive Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) Engineering Test Model (ETM) to demonstrate the feasibility of using SMES technology to provide the prime power for applications requiring large amounts of stored energy. The ETM will be capable of storing 20 Megawatt hours of electrical energy and discharging it at power rates from 10 to 400 MEgawatts. Associated component designs, developmental experiments, trade-off studies, costing studies, impact assessments and implementation planning will also be performed.
