The energy density, efficiency and the high discharge rate make SMES useful systems to incorporate into modern energy grids and green energy initiatives. The SMES system''s uses can be categorized into three categories: power supply systems, control systems and emergency/contingency systems. FACTS FACTS (flexible AC transmission system) devices are static devices that can be installed in electricity grids
