Energy storage technologies supercapacitors

The content of Figs. 10.1 and 10.2 is summarized in Fig. 10.3 by showing power as a function of discharge duration for both applications and energy-storage technologies. Supercapacitors, flywheels, and SMES are shown to be primarily useful for power-quality applications. Batteries are suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, and pumped-hydro and CAES are shown to be primarily useful for load levelling [9]. 

Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs), also known as supercapacitors, are today advancing as one of the most promising energy storage technology. In EDLCs,...
