Pouch-type EDLCs for thin-and-light circuit designs

November 1, 2021 By Shinji Higuma Leave a Comment

Supercapacitors now come in a small, thin format that makes them candidates for uses characterized by cramped quarters. Shinji Higuma, TDK Corp. In the next several years, the internet of things (IoT) will include tens of billions of connected devices. Consumer, industrial, medical, and automotive applications will feature connected devices, but not all connected devices […]

Putting supercapacitors to work

October 26, 2021 By George Wundsam 1 Comment

supercaps

There are a variety of modern applications in which supercapacitors are better candidates than either batteries or ordinary capacitors. George Wundsam, Cornell Dubilier Supercapacitors are not new. First developed in the 1950s, commercial versions were marketed over 40 years ago. At that time, supercapacitors were certainly not on a fast track to practical application. They […]

Energy storage by the Farad, Part 3: Hybrid supercapacitors

June 25, 2021 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

supercapacitors

For operating and backup power and energy storage, engineers can choose among batteries, supercapacitors, or “best of both” hybrid supercapacitors. Just as with rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors need proper management to optimize their performance and avoid mishaps. In many ways, the supervisory requirements for both are similar but there are some differences. Vendors of power-management ICs […]

Energy storage by the Farad, Part 2: Supercapacitors & batteries

June 24, 2021 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

supercapacitors

For operating and backup power and energy storage, engineers can choose among batteries, supercapacitors, or “best of both” hybrid supercapacitors. The previous part of this article established the context for supercapacitors and explained their structure in simplistic terms; obviously, this is a component with deep physics, chemistry, materials-science considerations, and manufacturing issues. The first widely […]

Energy storage by the Farad, Part 1: Supercapacitor basics

June 23, 2021 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

supercapacitor basics

Engineers can choose between batteries, supercapacitors, or “best of both” hybrid supercapacitors for operating and backup power and energy storage. Many systems operate from an available line-operated supply or replaceable batteries for power. However, in others, there is a need in many systems to continually capture, store, and then deliver energy to power the system. […]

Super-caps cover 0.5 to 600-F range at up to 3.0 V

April 26, 2021 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

Supercap Expansition

The DGH 2.7-V and DSF 3.0-V series supercapacitors (aka EDLCs or ultracapacitors) are used to supplement rechargeable batteries or as replacements for batteries in a diverse range of applications. These new components add powerful options for engineers. According to Brendan Andrews, Cornell Dubilier Business Unit Manager, “Our technology is used in a wide variety of […]

Flexible wire-like supercapacitors can be built into power cords

March 12, 2021 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

capacitech

Capacitech Energy’s Cable-Based Capacitor (CBC) technology is a flexible supercapacitor that stores energy in a wire-like form factor designed to be built inside of power cords. It can also be used to offset capacitors from the circuit board to the wiring infrastructure to reduce the size of electronics. Cabled-Based Capacitors can be connected in series […]

CURRENT DIGITAL ISSUE

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
