Design and Simulation of Efficient Supercapacitor Model Using Matlab/Simulink

Energy storage and its way of storing and retrieving it is really important. Since wireless communication and devices are highly used today, storing and retrieving energy frequently has become a common practice. So, an efficient and quick energy storage management system has to be developed. For which a paper is proposed on designing an efficient Supercapacitor that is highly efficient and has the ability to discharge slowly. A hybrid solution is proposed to achieve high energy and power density. In addition, hybrid energy storage systems may be applied in a variety of systems, resulting in a variety of applications with better results. Here, supercapacitor gets combined with battery in hybrid manner which is used for increasing the life cycle of the system and other advantages that may not be achieved by using a single system. Because the supercapacitor lessens the stress on the battery, this construction typically has a longer life. The supercapacitor model is simulated in this study by using MATLAB/Simulink, and the efficiency of the model is improved by verifying and evaluating the parameters. Also, its parameters are tuned in such a way that a satisfiable efficient output is obtained. The two-branch model is being used to simulate and study the supercapacitor’s equivalent circuit. The supercapacitor model with improved performance that has been simulated in Simulink works which can be used alongside with the battery as a backup to satisfy the power needs of the load instantly and efficiently.
