The storage capacity of SMES is the product of the self inductance of the coil and the square of the current flowing through it:

<m>E = \frac{1}{2} L I^2</m>
*E is the [[energy]] stored in the coil (in [[Joule]]s)
*L is the inductance of the coil (in [[Henry]]s)
*I is the current flowing through the coil (in [[Ampere]]s)

The maximum current that can flow through the superconductor is dependent on the temperature, making the cooling system very important to the energy storage capacity. The cooling systems usually use liquid nitrogen or helium to keep the materials in a superconductor state.<ref Name = Book1/>
