Background
What is Energy Storage:
Energy storage is a mechanism to storeuseful
energywhich can then be used in future.
With increase in renewable energy generation
like, Wind, Solar- Energy storage has become
crucial.
Types of Energy Storage systems

Application of
Supercapacitor
Useful in hybrid electric vehicles, used in
conjunction with the batteries.
Can be used in Renewable energy
systems to avoid fluctuation of Voltage.
Small valued capacitors are used in
Memories.
