Supercapacitors are developed within a small industry relative to other types of energy storage, such as batteries.
A battery energy storage. The question of power storage has become critical as Kenya embraces e-mobility which requires reliable power supplies. The Energy and Petroleum ministry targets to mainstream power storage in its electricity master plan as the country’s renewable energy generation expands.
For instance, supercapacitors are currently employed in hybrid systems for buses and trucks, storing regenerative braking energy of light rails and automobiles, heavy-duty vehicles, industrial power, consumer electronics, and load-balancing systems for fluctuating energy sources. [16, 36, 38]
In terms of energy storage capability, the commercially accessible supercapacitors can offer higher energy density (e.g., 5 Wh kg −1) than conventional electrolytic capacitors, though still lower than the batteries (up to ≈1000 Wh kg −1).
A safe and robust electricity storage device with high energy and power densities has the potential to revolutionize energy harvesting, distribution, and utility. Moreover, the demand for more reliable and compact power systems in military, consumer, and industrial applications continues to drive advancements in this area.
Weaving is also an alternative technique for integrating TENGs and supercapacitors into self-charging power fabrics. Liu et al. produced self-charging textile using yarn-based TENGs for energy harvesting and a yarn-based supercapacitor for energy storage (Figure 20c).
