Supercapacitors store excess energy when load is low and feed it back to the grid during peak load periods to adjust power demand. They also provide rapid power buffering to address issues such as momentary power outages caused by system faults and sudden voltage spikes or dips, stabilizing and smoothing grid voltage fluctuations. Grids built around wind and solar power generation heavily rely on supercapacitors as a stabilizing system.
