Problem
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are inherently intermittent and difficult to predict, which limits their ability to meet continuous power demand. As renewable penetration grows in Turkey and worldwide, grid operators and plant owners need storage solutions that can smooth fluctuations and maintain stability, but traditional battery technology has limitations in response speed and cycle life for grid-scale applications.
Solution
Supracap brings supercapacitor technology to the Turkish market, offering an alternative to conventional battery storage for renewable energy integration. The company develops supercapacitor-based systems that can be integrated with solar and wind power plants to enhance their operational capabilities. These systems provide fast-response power delivery and absorption, enabling functions such as load shifting, peak shaving, arbitrage, frequency regulation, black start capability, and bridge power. By pairing supercapacitors with renewable generation, Supracap helps plants deliver more stable and dispatchable power while contributing to overall grid resilience and flexibility.
Target Audience
Primary customers are renewable energy plant owners and operators, particularly solar (GES) and wind (RES) power producers in Turkey seeking to improve grid integration and add storage capabilities to their facilities.
