A typical SMES system includes three parts: superconducting coil, power conditioning system and cryogenically cooled refrigerator. The aim of this paper is to propose a metaheuristic-based optimization method to. Energy storage methodologies like pumped hydroelectric, batteries, capacitor banks, and flywheels are currently used at a grid level to store energy. Each technology has varying benefits and restrictions related to capacity, speed, efficiency, and cost. This is where electrical current can flow without resistance at very low temperatures.

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage is one of the most substantial storage devices. This storage device has been separated into two organizations, toroid and solenoid. Superconducting magnetic energy storage technology converts electrical energy into magnetic field energy efficiently and stores it through superconducting coils and converters, with millisecond response speed and energy efficiency of more than 90%. When needed by the grid, this energy can be.
