A Review on Supercapacitor Bus within a Quick Charge

The proposed supercapacitor-based bus system with quick charging provides an efficient solution for modern urban transportation challenges. By utilizing supercapacitors as the primary energy storage unit, the system achieves rapid charging, high power delivery, and improved operational reliability. The integration of quick charging stations and regenerative braking enhances energy efficiency and reduces downtime compared to conventional battery-based systems. Although the system faces limitations such as lower energy density and the need for charging infrastructure, it offers a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative for public transport. With further advancements in energy storage technologies and smart energy management, the proposed system has strong potential to support future intelligent and efficient transportation networks.
