The capex costs of supercapacitors are contrasted with the costs of lithium ion batteries and the costs of flywheels in the chart below. A typical supercapacitor stores about 15 seconds of energy, for a capex cost of $10,000/kWh, but just $40/kW of power.
A typical supercapacitor stores about 15 seconds of energy, for a capex cost of $10,000/kWh, but just $40/kW of power. This is down to very high power density (10-25 kW/kg, 10-25x higher than a lithium ion battery), albeit quite low energy density (2-10 Wh/kg, which is 95-99% below a lithium ion battery).
High capital cost and low energy density of supercapacitors make the unit cost of energy stored (kWh) more expensive than alternatives such as batteries. Their attributes make them attractive for uses in which frequent small charges/discharges are required (e.g., ensuring power quality or providing frequency regulation).
Supercapacitor applications in the bulk-power systems: (a) a schematic of a volt/VAR control using a static compensator with supercapacitors, and (b) a schematic of renewable energy regulation using a supercapacitor bank. Adapted from, .
