Abstract

Conserving energy from an infinite source and utilizing it for human needs can be done using several technologies. One of the prime sources of non-conventional energy is the solar energy, which is a natural energy source and available in plenty.The technological advances have enabled the conservation of a huge amount of energy for storing in various forms.With the help of active balancing and a superior fuzzy-based control system, a model can be developed for storage using supercapacitors. Several tests shall be planned to validate the model for different surroundings.
