ABSTRACT
As communities and industries continue to expand, delivering power becomes more
challenging– electricity grids reach capacity during peak periods, while providing electricity off
the grid becomes more expensive. In India the use of electronic loads is increasing very fast and
issue.
By utilizing advanced Super capacitors (also known as ultra capacitors) are DC energy
sources and must be interfaced to the electric grid with a static power conditioner, providing 60Hz output. A super capacitor provides power during short duration interruptions and voltage
sags. By combining a super capacitor with a battery-based uninterruptible power supply system,
the life of the batteries can be extended. The batteries provide power only during the longer
interruptions, reducing the cycling duty on the battery. Small super capacitors are commercially
available to extend battery life in electronic equipment, but large super capacitors are still in
development, but may soon become a viable component of the energy storage field. The most
significant advantage super capacitors have over batteries is their ability to be charged and
discharged continuously without degrading like batteries do.
Super capacitors merged with batteries (hybrid battery) will become the new super
battery. Just about everything that is now powered by batteries will be improved by this much
better energy supply. They can be made in most any size, from postage stamp to hybrid car
battery pack. Their light weight and low cost make them attractive for most portable electronics
and phones, as well as aircraft and automobiles.
The new ones are flexible and biodegradable and can be powered by body fluids. (Since
body fluids can act as an electrolyte, the battery can be used for medical devices and could be
installed into a patient fully charged but dry and feed off bodily fluids to allow it to re-power and
discharge energy.

system user-friendly to get the voltage. ARDUINO is the heart of the circuit as it controls all the
functions.
