This book explores the potential of magnetic superconductors in storage systems specifically
focusing on superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems and using the Spanish
electricity system controlled by Red Eléctrica de España (REE) as an example. The book
provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic costs associated with the manufacture and
maintenance of SMES systems as well as a regulatory analysis for their implementation in the
complex Spanish electrical system. The analysis also compares this system with the regulations
of other countries providing a comprehensive case study.The book examines the possible
economic and environmental benefits of using magnetic superconductors in electrical systems and
provides a technical study of the use of these systems in hybrid storage systems that
complement each other to optimize network performance. The study is conducted from the
perspective of new distribution networks distributed generation and the concepts of the smart
city. The book also explores potential applications and developments such as electric
vehicles. Overall this book offers an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the potential
of magnetic superconductors in storage systems. It will be an invaluable resource for
researchers engineers and policymakers interested in the future of energy storage systems
