The article presents an analysis of performance of an energy storage element used in uninterruptible power supply systems built with the use of supercapacitors. It describes the operation of the voltage balancing system during charging and discharging of the capacitors. Attention has been drawn to the energy conditions of the system's operation and solutions that provide enhanced energy efficiency have been described.
