Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (often shortened to SMES, pronounced ss-mess) systems store energy in a magnetic field. The power is collected by means of a terminal: and is sent out via a wire node directly under the SMES.

Power is what makes the NSS Cyberiad run and without it there is chaos. There are currently three main power sources in the game: the Singularity and Tesla Engine; the four station Solars; and a Thermoelectric Generator, Turbine, and Supermatter Engine that atmos techs can construct. Many of these engines produce tens to even hundreds of MWs, however, the station power grid can only handle so much power before, this is why the station has SMESes. They regulate power output and store excess for emergencies.

The NSS Cyberiad has many SMES units scattered around the station:

Three in Engineering directly to the east of the PA
One in the engine room
One directly South of AI core
One for each of the four Solar Arrays.
Two in Electrical maintenance
One in the Mining Station
One in the Turbine
One in the Gravity Generator

Using a SMES

In order for the SMES to charge, set the charge mode to auto and the target input level to the maximum(default is 50 kw). In order to output power, you must set the output mode to on, and set the target output to however much power you wish to output. It is important to keep in mind that the station power grid does not need more than one MW(1mil kw) and you should avoid setting the net output for all the SMES above that level else the APCs begin arching lightning from power overloads. If you're unsure how much power the station needs, check the power grid monitoring computer in the northern wing of engineering.

Essentially, a SMES is a giant battery, so even if you choose not to have all the SMESs on station output power, you can have them store power in the case where an engine goes down and you need a power boost.

Primary Power

Your primary SMESs are in the room directly to the right and left of the Particle Accelerator. These SMESs require special instructions on how to set up so that the engine does not escape. Check the guide for the Tesla Engine/Singularity Engine for information on how to set these up. In general, do not mess with the left SMES in engineering, it powers the containment and PA for the engine.
