Power to magnets (at least those not contributing to heating) are assumed to be included in the house load. | ||

For pulsed power, with an optimistic beta of 1, the magnetic field energy is going to be comparable to the heat energy. The house load here seems tied to a static superconducting coil, not a pulsed field. And can in many cases be much higher than the heat energy (e.g. theta pinch). | ||
