This paper surveys fractional-order electric circuit models that have been reported in the literature to best fit experimentally collected impedance data from energy storage and generation elements, including super-capacitors, batteries, fuel cells. In all surveyed models, employment of capacitors, also known as constant phase is imperative not only accuracy model but reflect physical electrochemical properties device.

Abstract The porous nature of the electrode material in supercapacitors and apparent conductivity electrolyte cause their impedance to show a complex frequency‐dependent behavior, which turn makes it incorrect treat them as ideal capacitors, even at frequency few millihertz. This is particularly crucial if intended application requires configuration that uses stacked supercapacitor banks, errors defining metrics individual components accumulate. Although manufacturers provide ratings under...
