In some countries, PV systems with energy storage would also be profitable, while in many others not. However, as the literature studies show, the most profitable combinations are always the PV system with a high self-consumption rate. In this sense, energy storage with a supercapacitor is an excellent solution.
Due to long-term reliability and very-high current in a short-time, they can be used as short term power backup and grid stabilisation device. In this work a photovoltaic system working with a supercapacitor device demonstrates its large potential in self-consumption improvement and in grid stabilisation.
In this research study, the photovoltaic system equipped with supercapacitor was investigated in order to increase renewable energy utilisation (self-consumption) and decrease grid fluctuation.
Already the PV system with two supercapacitors (2x100F) fully supplies the load demand during the day and the impact on the grid stability is smoothing of the energy feeding the grid profile. A larger number of supercapacitors does not influence renewable energy utilisation (directly) by the load.
The ultra/super-capacitors USC can be a very promising alternative for the system without energy storage as well as for the systems with batteries. It is obvious that the presented approach possesses disadvantages by neglecting the economic consideration, which is the key subject of system optimisation in a large number of studies.
Esmaili et al. have analysed energy storage with supercapacitors in order to prevent grid system frequency and voltage fluctuations caused by hardly predictable renewable energy systems. Their results show excellent fluctuation reduction in system output power.
