Abstract :
    Huge energy storage is an important challenge for electricity generation. Researchers have studied methods of energy storage and efficiency enhancement for years. In recent years, researchers have been investigating new materials and techniques to store significant amounts of energy more efficiently. In particular, renewable energy sources and electric vehicle technologies initiate these scientific studies. Scientists and manufacturers have recently proposed the supercapacitor (SC) as an alternate or hybrid storage device. The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively review SC applications and their developments. Based on this, first a detailed literature review was conducted. Historical results of SCs are shown in this paper. The structure, working principle, and materials of SC are presented in detail to be analyzed more effectively. Advantages and disadvantages, market characteristics, and new technologies are discussed with manufacturing companies to produce a techno-economic analysis of SCs. Electric vehicle, power systems, hybrid energy storage systems with the integration of renewable energy sources and other SC applications are reviewed in this paper. In this paper, in addition, an overview of the design principles of SC modeling with charge and discharge experiments is reviewed.
