SuperCAP
What is a Super capacitor?
The capacitor is know as electric double layer capacitor and is an energy
storage device.
The energy density is hundred of times greater than typical electrolytic
capacitors and has a much higher power density than batteries or fuel cells.
Typical applications:
The applications for the SuperCAP is very wide mostly used today in:
Emergency light (LED)
systems
Automotive systems
Automotive subsystem
Rail system power
Heavy duty vehicles
Industrial machinery
Transportation
Hybrid vehicles
Consumer machinery
Renewable energy systems (solar
generators, wind generators)
Short term UPS
Wind turbine pitch system
Electric scooter
Golf car
The SuperCAP is designed to be environmentally friendly.
It also has extraordinary cycle life because there are no volume changes.
Today there are several manufacturers of these SuperCAP's in a wide variety of
capacitance ranging from 0,1F to 3000F.
A former manufacturer had even a 5000F! (UltraCap)
