F<strong>or</strong> longer-term energy st<strong>or</strong>age applications (greater than 15 seconds), the lead-acid<br />

battery is lower cost and the preferred solution. The amount <strong>of</strong> energy available in the<br />

lead-acid battery <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> these longer durations is m<strong>or</strong>e than in capacit<strong>or</strong>s, as shown in Figure<br />

18, and the cost is about 10 times lower.<br />

Application <strong>of</strong> Electrochemical Capacit<strong>or</strong>s <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> Utility Power<br />

Delivery<br />

Two electrochemical capacit<strong>or</strong> applications <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> utility power delivery are grid<br />

stabilization in T&D and station battery replacement <strong>or</strong> reduction in substations. Both<br />

applications require sh<strong>or</strong>t-time delivery <strong>of</strong> energy <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> limited time. F<strong>or</strong> grid stabilization<br />

st<strong>or</strong>ed energy is <strong>com</strong>bined with electronic control and acts to source <strong>or</strong> sink power <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong><br />

momentary grid supp<strong>or</strong>t. In this application, energy st<strong>or</strong>age supplements reactive<br />

<strong>com</strong>pensation and can improve system stability and power through-put. The second<br />
