Communication Base Station Energy Solutions
A telecommunications company in Central Asia built a communication base station in a desert region far from the power grid. Due to harsh climate conditions and the absence of on-site
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).
Supercapacitors are developed within a small industry relative to other types of energy storage, such as batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have become the dominant storage technology for most grid applications through significant investment in innovation and scale-up of deployment, as well as the corresponding increased power densities at less cost.
SMEs cited a lack of awareness about supercapacitor benefits and capabilities for the power system, and the significant challenge of integration into the broader energy storage conversation. Supercapacitors are developed within a small industry relative to other types of energy storage, such as batteries.
For example, supercapacitors have a very high cycle life and fast charge/discharge rates but low energy density; lithium-ion batteries have lower cycle life and slower charge/discharge rates but much higher energy density.
As mentioned, multiple times in this report, supercapacitors have not been traditionally well suited for stand-alone, long-duration energy storage but may have substantial benefit when hybridized with complimentary storage technologies. Ideal combinations are those in which the strengths of one technology offset the weaknesses of another.
For example, while supercapacitors have high charge and discharge rates and therefore may be well suited to provide frequency regulation in the grid, regulation markets often have requirements regarding the minimum duration of a participating resource, which is often longer than what supercapacitors can economically provide, .
