Two parallel supercapacitor banks, one for discharging and one for charging, ensure a steady power supply to the sensor network by smoothing out fluctuations from the solar panel.
4.1. Energy storage 4.1.1. Renewable energy integration (solar) The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources like solar poses significant challenges to grid stability. With their exceptional power density and rapid charge-discharge capabilities, supercapacitors offer a promising solution to address these issues.
Supercapacitors help achieve better energy conservation and emission reduction in automobiles, rail transit, and renewable energy power generation and have broad development prospects. In the future, reducing costs and enhancing performance will be the only way to accelerate the application of supercapacitors in a wider field.
This approach addresses the common limitation of batteries in handling instantaneous power surges, which is a significant issue in many energy storage applications. The development of a MATLAB Simulink model to illustrate the role of supercapacitors in reducing battery stress is demonstrated.
