Development of Magnetic Levitation Type Power Charge and Discharge Device Using a Superconductor

Abstract

Currently, renewable energy has been attracting attention as a commitment to environmental and energy issues. However, renewable energy can't provide a stable power supply due to the influence of the climate. Therefore, we are aiming to development a “Power Charge and Discharge Device” to compensate for the fluctuation power using the magnetic levitation technology of superconductors. In this paper, the principles and characteristics of the proposed power charge and discharge device are described.
