Whether HTSC or LTSC systems are more economical depends because there are other major components determining the cost of SMES: Conductor consisting of superconductor and copper stabilizer and cold support are major costs in themselves. They must be judged with the overall efficiency and cost of the device. Other components, such as vacuum vessel insulation, has been shown to be a small part compared to the large coil cost. The combined costs of conductors, str…

The cost studies indicated that optimized NbTi or Nb 3 Sn toroidal SMES systems in the range of 500 MJ are very comparable in cost (well within 5% of each other). However, Nb 3 Sn systems have a tremendous advantage in size leading to magnets that occupy from half to a third of the volume of an equivalent NbTi SMES.
