How could superconducting magnets be used for short term energy storage?

What will be an ideal response?


Circulating currents cause magnetic fields. If materials are strong enough,
considerable energy densities can be accommodated. Such systems could be important in
providing backup energy to correct for momentary surges in the grid.
