Tables side by side with two captions for each one

Question

In fact, I have tried to put these tables side by side, I have already checked some methods in tex.stackexchange but they display two table with one caption. I want both table each one with its appropriate caption here is the code:

\documentclass[10pt]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{lineno}
\modulolinenumbers[5]
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,nccmath}
\usepackage{cclicenses}
\usepackage{makecell}
\usepackage{lscape,array}
\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}} 
\usepackage[thin, , thinc]{esdiff}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{framed}  
\usepackage[font=small,skip=0pt]{caption}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[!ht]

\centering
\caption{The parameters 1}
\begin{tabular}{ c c } 
\toprule
\makecell{ parameters}  &  value \\   
\midrule
Rated value &  3.5\\
time & 50 s     \\
value 1 & 100    \\
value 2 & 200  \\
value 3 & 300  \\
value 4 & 400 \\
value 5 & 500  \\
value 6 & 600 \\
VALUE 7 & 700 \\

\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\vspace{0.5\baselineskip}\vspace{-\parskip}
\label{tab:The parameters}
\end{table}
\begin{table}[!ht]
\centering
\caption{The parameters 2}
\begin{tabular}{ c c } 
\toprule
\makecell{ parameters 2}  &  Value \\   
\midrule
time  &  0.2 s\\
value 8 & 800     \\
value 9 & 900    \\
value 10 & 1000  \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\vspace{0.5\baselineskip}\vspace{-\parskip}
\label{tab:The parameters 2 }
\end{table}
\end{document}

My bad!! I am sorry. Could you upload a MWE which is compilable --> this only throws errors when I try to compile. — Raaja_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 03 '18 at 11:40
your code is not minimal. also you not say, how you imagine to be vertical aligned both tables ... — Zarko, Aug 03 '18 at 12:07

I hope this helps. This is done using minipage environment`

\documentclass[10pt]{elsarticle}

\usepackage[thin, , thinc]{esdiff}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{framed}  
\usepackage[font=small,skip=0pt]{caption}
\begin{document}\begin{table}[!htb]
\begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth}
    \centering

    \caption{First Table}
    \label{tab:first_table}

    \medskip

\begin{tabular}{ c c } 
\toprule
\makecell{ parameters}  &  value \\   
\midrule
Rated value &  1.5MW\\

like this?

with use of two minipage environments:

\documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[font=small,skip=0pt]{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[!ht]
    \centering
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.48\linewidth}\centering
\caption{The parameters 1}
\begin{tabular}{ c c }
\toprule
parameters  &  value \\
\midrule
Rated value &  1.5MW\\
time & 50 s     \\
value 1 & 100    \\
value 2 & 200  \\
value 3 & 300  \\
value 4 & 400 \\
value 5 & 500  \\
value 6 & 600 \\
VALUE 7 & 700 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}\hfill%
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.48\linewidth}\centering
\caption{The parameters 2}
\label{tab:The parameters 2 }
\begin{tabular}{ c c }
\toprule
parameters 2    &  Value \\
\midrule
time            &  0.2 s\\
value 8         & 800     \\
value 9         & 900    \\
value 10        & 1000  \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}
\end{table}
\end{document}

note: from your mwe i remove all in my solution not used packages.

@alper, why not? Global settings are preferred, since it garant uniform caption styles. All depends what you wish and how you like that appears both tables. If you have some problem with this, please ask new question (with MWE which reproduce your problem). — Zarko, May 20 '23 at 08:18
