Energy storageMeritsDemerits

Superconducting magnetic energy storage(i) Its ability to absorbing as well as delivering a significant quantity of power.
(ii) It has an excellent performance (more than 90%).
(iii) It has a very rapid response (less than 100 ms).
(iv) Maintenance of SMES is very less.
(v) Its structure is fully stable and reliable.
(vi) Any capacity can also be maintained by SMES
(i) To sustain the coils at a low temperature, a lot of electricity is required.
(ii) There is an issue of mechanical characteristics.
(iii) The initial installation takes a lot of money.

Supercapacitor(i) Amongst different energy storage systems, it has the maximum impulsive power.
(ii) It stores energy that can be controlled.
(iii) Exploitation is simple.
(iv) Its ability to have high charging capacity.
(v) This device has a longer span of time
(i) It has a decreased density of energy among various energy storage devices.
(ii) The clamps of a supercapacitor have a changing voltage value.

Battery(i) It has minimal, easy-to-manufacture, and has less cost per KWh.
(ii) Self-discharge rate of batteries is less.
(iii) Specific power of battery is high and also it has the ability to carry the discharge current.
(iv) It has an excellent performance at both cold and hot temperatures
(i) The process of charging is slow and tries to fully charge in approximately 14–16 hours.
(ii) In battery to avoid sulfation, it must be kept in a charged state.
(iii) charge and discharge rates of battery are less, it affects the battery life.
(iv) It is not eco-friendly.
