Thus, the number of publications focusing on this topic keeps increasing with the rise of projects and funding. Superconductor materials are being envisaged for Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES).

Over a medium of huge magnetic fields, the integral can be limited without causing a significant error. When the coil is in its superconducting state, no resistance is observed which allow to create a short circuit at its terminals. Thus, the indefinitely storage of the magnetic energy is possible as no decay of the current takes place.
The first step is to design a system so that the volume density of stored energy is maximum. A configuration for which the magnetic field inside the system is at all points as close as possible to its maximum value is then required. This value will be determined by the currents circulating in the superconducting materials.
