Abstract
A superconducting energy stabilizer having multiple load connections employs DC-DC conversion. A discharging DC-DC converter removes stored energy from a superconducting inductive energy storage device or superconducting magnet and delivers the energy to an energy storage cell for use by a load or a utility or industrial electrical distribution system. Regenerated energy can also be retrieved from regenerative type devices and stored in the superconducting magnet for later use. A charging DC-DC converter provides this function. The charging DC-DC converter and the discharging DC-DC converter as well as an off-the-line power supply which provides energy for storage in the superconducting magnet can operate simultaneously under the control of a control system.
