Design and Analysis of a Fuzzy Logic Controlled SMES System

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) becomes enabling technology and emerging to power systems. Its dynamic and steady-state characteristics in various power systems are largely related to the control strategies employed. This work investigates the feasibility to implant a fuzzy logic control method to a bridge-type chopper controlled SMES system, and theoretically validates the control method for SMES application.
