ABSTRACT

This work introduces a study to reduce battery stress by using supercapacitorsin electrical energy storage system. Main objective is to investigate the operation of battery alone verses combination of supercapacitor and battery. In this work,Supercapacitors and Battery models are developed using MATLAB / Simulink and the design and simulation of a power storage system that integrates SC and battery is carried out. The Supercapacitor is used as a high power storage device to smooth out the output of Battery during sudden variation of the load and henceforth performance of ESS is analyzed with the combination of Battery and Supercapacitor.
