-Because SMESs draw power in a set order, or ''power queue'', and since the station only draws about 150kW in the early part of the shift, the SMES output can be optimized to charge all SMESs evenly, meaning that no excess energy is wasted trying to charge already full SMESs. To do this, the output level on the first two SMESs in the power queue needs to set lower than maximum while the final SMES in the queue needs to be set to maximum to cover power fluctuations. We'll choose 50kW for the output levels on SMESs #1 and #2 since that is equivalent to ~150kW split among the 3 SMESs.

 # For each cell, set ''Input'' from Off to On (or Auto).
-# Increase ''Input level'' to Maximum (200 kW).
+# Increase ''Setting'' in the ''Input'' section to Maximum (200 kW).
-# '''On SMESs #1 and #2:''' Manually set ''Output level'' to 50000 W (50 kW), if necessary.
+# '''On SMESs #1 and #2:''' Manually change ''Setting'' in the ''Output'' section to 50000 W (50 kW), if necessary.

 These output settings may need to be set to Maximum later, after the SMESs are fully charged, when [[backup SMESs]] are wired up and charging, or if a [[power sink]] has drained station power. Otherwise, the SMESs are optimized for now. Move on to the next section.
