About Kilofarads
The kilofarad (kF) equals 10³ F, reached only by large supercapacitor assemblies for energy buffering. Industrial supercapacitor modules for tram and metro regenerative braking are rated 500-10 000 F = 0.5-10 kF; hybrid-bus energy buffers stack 3 000 F cells to achieve several kilofarads; grid fast-response voltage-stabilisation banks are discussed in the kilofarad range. 1 kF = 10³ F = 10⁻³ MF.
About Farads
The farad (F) is the SI derived unit of electrical capacitance, equal to 1 coulomb per volt (1 C/V = 1 A²·s⁴·kg⁻¹·m⁻²), named after Michael Faraday (1791-1867). One farad is impractically large for classical components: electric double-layer supercapacitors (EDLC) are the only practical devices in the farad range, from 1 F coin cells to 3 000 F modules used in regenerative braking. 1 F = 10³ mF = 10⁶ µF.
