The pandemic period has had a great impact on us all. There have been many uncertainties and challenges but also new opportunities to stay connected and share knowledge. The PSMA Capacitor Workshop is a forum designed to share knowledge, to network, and to exchange ideas and information with others in the industry.
This workshop provides an overview of the exciting supercapacitor technology, but it will also provide a forum to discuss and compare other energy storage solutions: batteries, high-voltage capacitors, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), flywheels, power electronics, novel control and modeling techniques, special applications.
Capacitors exhibit exceptional power density, a vast operational temperature range, remarkable reliability, lightweight construction, and high efficiency, making them extensively utilized in the realm of energy storage. There exist two primary categories of energy storage capacitors: dielectric capacitors and supercapacitors.
Capacitors possess higher charging/discharging rates and faster response times compared with other energy storage technologies, effectively addressing issues related to discontinuous and uncontrollable renewable energy sources like wind and solar .
These capacitors exhibit extremely low ESR and equivalent series inductance, coupled with high current-handling capabilities and outstanding high-temperature stability. As a result, they show immense potential for applications in electric vehicles, 5G base stations, clean energy generation, smart grids, and other fields.
NanoLam TM capacitors as demonstrated above and in previous work [8,9], have superior energy density when used in DC-link and filter applications that require large capacitance and voltage in the range of 50V-1000V. 10. Acknowledgment

For Tantalum polymer capacitors, no appreciable change in any of the measured parameters (CAP, DF, ESR, DCL, charging current with dU/dt = 120 V/s) across all of the radiation levels and the annealing period was observed. Similarly, for MnO 2 based cathodes, there was minimal deviation from the
