Design Considerations for the Fast Charge of Supercapacitors in the Frame of Low Voltage Applications

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Simon Delalay

Even if supercapacitors present a reduced energy density, they enable to store a significant amount of energy, which leads to a significant autonomy for applications with reduced energy needs. The main advantage of supercapacitors is there to compensate a ...

Energetic Macroscopic Representation and PSIM® simulation: application to a DC/DC converter input filter stability

Philippe Barrade

Simulation is a key issue in the design of control electrical systems. Simulation packages using component library, such as PSIM®, are very useful to achieve this goal. The simulation model is thus easily built from the system topology (structural model). ...

An Energetic Based Method Leading to Merged Control Loops for the Stability of Input Filters

Philippe Barrade

In most of applications, power converters are controlled to allow their output current/voltage to follow the required reference values. For DC/DC and DC/AC converters, the control must take into account their input voltage, which must be rejected. In such ...

Comparison of Control Strategies for Maximizing Energy in a Supercapacitor Storage Subsystem

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade

A storage supercapacitor subsystem is studied for insertion in a series hybrid electric vehicle (Fig. 1). This subsystem is composed of a supercapacitor bank and a braking resistor used when the supercapacitor voltage is at its maximum value. Generally, wh ...
