| Abstract: Supercapacitors are neutral systems that contain an electric double layer at the interface of the metal electrode and electrolyte dielectric material. The neutrality of the system is obtained by a diffuse layer of positive charges in the electrolyte opposing a centralized layer of negative charges in the electrode. Thus, the double layer is formed in which the separation of each layer is on the order of a few angstroms. As a first trial, in this paper the technology of supercapacitors is applied theoretically for the electrical power distribution systems. A simple distribution system (two-node system) is proposed. The system represents the one line diagram of a source – line - load system. By increasing the capacitance of the supercapacitor at the load bus, the load flow analysis results showed that the over voltage problem and also the high losses problem at load are removed. | ||
