A capacitor is also a two-terminal passive electronic component which can store energy. Capacitors and resistors form the fundamental passive components of any IC. Capacitors are mainly used for signal filtering, voltage regulation, local energy storage and as bypass capacitors. The amount of energy that can be stored in a capacitor is measured in capacitance. The unit of capacitance is Farad denoted by the symbol F.

The ratio of the electric charge on each conductor of the capacitor to the potential difference (voltage) between them is known as capacitance. The capacitance value of a capacitor is measure in farads (F). One farad is a very large quantity of capacitance; thus, most commonly used household type capacitors are rated at only a fraction of a farad, often in microfarads (µf—a thousandth of a farad) or smaller in picofarads (a trillionth, pF). Supercapacitors (sometimes used to store energy produced by wind turbines) can store very large electrical charges of thousands of farads.

Capacitance of a conductor is the charge produced on it per unit potential applied. Capacitor is a circuit component for storing electric charge, designed to provide a fixed or variable value of capacitance in a circuit. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by an insulator.

There are several energy storage devices available in the literature. In this article, battery energy storage (BES), flywheel energy storage (FES), capacitive energy storage (CES), superconducting magnetic energy storage devices (SES), ultra-capacitors (UC), and redox flow batteries (RFB) are considered for LFC application. The ESS can be used to improve the inertia of the power system against load changes. The ESS operates in charging mode when there is surplus generation and in discharge mode during deficit cases. Additionally, hybrid ESS systems combine different energy storage technologies mentioned above to leverage the unique advantages of each technology. This results in enhanced flexibility, efficiency, power quality, lifespan, cost, and reliability. For example, batteries excel at providing sustained energy over longer durations, while capacitors can rapidly discharge and absorb energy, making them ideal for high-power applications. By combining these technologies, the system can efficiently handle both high-power and long-duration energy requirements. In this article, the response of the system is analyzed with different ESS and hybrid combinations. The mathematical model of all ESS devices are as follows;

Like batteries, supercapacitors are energy storage devices. Supercapacitors can be mainly classified into two: pseudo capacitors and electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). Pseudo capacitors store energy via reduction–oxidation reactions at the electrode/electrolyte interface and possess higher energy density over EDLCs rate capacity (98). Supercapacitors are considered more advantageous over Li-ion batteries as they possess a high-power density capacity for electrochemical energy storage with broad operating temperature conditions. The use of capacitors for energy harvesting has been limited due to their low energy density (<10 W.h.kg−1), implying they exhibit few seconds of charge/discharge process. Carbon materials with hierarchical pore structures are important for enhancing the performance of supercapacitors. Carbon-based materials are commonly used as electrodes due to their low cost, good electrical conductivity, varying forms, remarkable physiochemical properties, and tunable porosity (99).

There has been significant research interest in smart textiles and on the mechanism of powering electronic textiles which necessitates research into an energy source. Energy harvesting systems, including inductive coupling [39], thermoelectric [40], photovoltaic cells [41] and also piezo- or triboelectric materials [42], are among techniques to power wearable electronic textiles. However, all of these power harvesting methods usually need conventional battery or capacitor for storing the produced energy, and also only a small amount of energy is harvested from the surrounding environment [43]. Therefore, batteries or supercapacitors are still required in addition to energy harvesting techniques to successfully power e-textiles. Capacitors are known to store small amounts of energy but with high-power density compared to batteries. However, the rigid nature of these energy supply devices usually disturbs the typical textile haptics as well as the drape and bendability [44]. This is why textile-based batteries are of high interest in the field of wearable electronic textiles and are investigated by various research groups in [45,46]. The energy generated from the battery is due to an oxidation and a reduction reaction, which provides voltage of the battery as a result of the potential difference between these two reduction potentials.
