ABSTRACT
As communities and industries continue to expand, delivering power becomes more
challenging– electricity grids reach capacity during peak periods, while providing electricity off
the grid becomes more expensive. In India the use of electronic loads is increasing very fast and
the gap between demand and the supply have made the reliability and power quality a critical
issue.
Advantages:
• High Specific power (100-1000 times higher than batteries)
• Incomparable cycle life of 105
• Less Specific Energy
• Fast Charging
• Longer cycle life.
Applications:
• Applications requiring a short duration power boost.
• Capacitors are extensively used as power back-up for memory functions in a wide range
of consumer products such as mobile phones, laptops and radio tuners.
• used for energy storage for solar panels, and motor starters.
• Supercapacitors are also used to provide fast acting short term power back up for UPS
applications
