A time-domain simulation model is established by using the software PSCAD/EMTDC. Based on this model, the application of the VSMES in the power system is used to test the designed rules. The simulation results are valuable for the further research of the initial parameters design of the VSMES. %K Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) %K VSMES %K Initial Parameters %K Voltage Sag %K Time-Domain Simulation %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=2599
