The quest for an environmentally friendly device with fast dynamic response and nearly infinite cycling has resulted in superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) being proposed as a novel storage technology for wind energy systems. This paper builds on previous work in our lab that uses a magnesium diboirde SMES to address wind interruptions. Mathematical optimization was conducted to design large capacity toroid storage specifically to address sustained interruptions from wind turbines. The toroidal configuration consisting of 4 modules exhibited the highest normalized efficiency with least superconductor requirementenSuperconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), Superconductor, Magnesium diboride (MgB2), Wind Energy Integration, Wind Energy Variance Mitigation.Article
