This article discusses the role of capacitors and SCs in these HESSs. . A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores energy in an electric field. When a voltage is applied across the plates, electric charge accumulates, allowing the capacitor to temporarily. . Energy storage systems (ESSs) are a cornerstone technology that enables the implementation of inherently intermittent energy sources, such as wind and solar power. When power outages occur, ESSs also serve as backups for critical infrastructure. The power management systems, including converters. . Capacitors exhibit exceptional power density, a vast operational temperature range, remarkable reliability, lightweight construction, and high efficiency, making them extensively utilized in the realm of energy storage.
