Abstract

This article explores energy storage technologies, focusing on batteries and supercapacitors, and their role in modern power systems. Energy storage is critical for enhancing grid reliability, integrating renewable energy sources, and improving energy efficiency. Batteries provide high energy density and long-duration storage, while supercapacitors offer high power density and rapid charge-discharge cycles. The study examines the principles, advantages, limitations, and applications of both technologies, highlighting their importance in smart grids, electric vehicles, and sustainable energy systems.
