Download this technical guide to learn about supercapacitor construction, typical applications, determining the correct supercapacitor for a given application, equivalent circuit, measuring the capacitance of supercapacitors, leakage current, life expectancy calculation, soldering guidelines, cell balancing, and lead bending recommendations.
While most engineers have a basic understanding of supercaps, relatively few have put them to use. So it is helpful to discuss the applications that best fit supercaps and the pluses and minuses of the technology vs. batteries or in combination with batteries...
This paper presents methods to protect power sources from damage due to high current demands of supercapacitors...
This paper is an effort to document the performance and utility of supercapacitors when used in an IC that provides bidirectional buck-boost DC/DC regulation, supercapacitor cell charging and balancing functions, and automatic power switching to supercapacitors as primary power is lost...
This newly updated guide includes an overview of supercapacitors as energy storage devices and supercapacitor charging/discharging, as well as useful supercapacitor equations and a complete supercapacitor product selection guide...
LICAP's patented Activated Dry Electrode™ method is the key technology that differentiates LICAP from the competitors. LICAP pre-activates its electrode formulations, reduces the share of inactive materials (binders), and removes toxic solvents from its manufacturing process...
CDE's engineering team can support customers through all the potential design solutions and strategies that can be implemented into any application. CDE designs and manufactures custom supercapacitor solutions which support applications to function at their fullest capabilities...
The need for a fast charging and reliable source of portable energy storage has grown dramatically through the proliferation of electrification in recent years. This session outlines the key differences between supercapacitors and batteries in terms of construction, specifications, capabilities, and applications...
Several exciting new standby power solutions, all rapidly approaching mainstream commercial viability, appear poised to give the lead acid battery a run for its money. This white paper will explore the strengths, weaknesses and future prospects of four such technologies: Lithium-ion batteries, flywheels, ultracapacitors and fuel cells...
About 60% of new wind turbines being installed today use electric pitch control systems. In this Tech Chat we discuss the operational and safety importance of wind turbine pitch systems and how supercapacitors have several advantages over batteries in these systems...
