Supercapacitors are new and powerful components for energy storage. Compared with batteries, the amount of energy they can store is low. But, as power sources they have the property to be re-loadable in a few seconds [1][2][3]. In that case, the needed ins ...
This paper presents hybrid energy storage systems based on hydro-pneumatics and Supercapacitors with high potentials regarding life cycle and impacts on environment. These so called “Batteries with Oil-hydraulics and Pneumatics (BOP)” systems exploit the h ...
A new feeding concept for electrical transportation system is presented, based on supercapacitative energy storage. Supercapacitors are new and poewrful components for energy storage. Compared with batteries, the amount of energy supercapacitors can store ...
Large Physics experimentation as in particle accelerators or in nuclear fusion is often characterised by a strong and modulated power demand, incompatible with the power availability of the grid. Therefore, large facilities for short-term energy storage ha ...

Supercapacitors represent one of the newest innovations in the field of electrical energy storage, and will find their place in many applications where energy storage is needed, or can help to the smoothing of strong and short-time power solicitations of a ...
In recent years, power variations and energy criteria have been the main motivations for developing regenerative drive converters for elevators [1]. A better performing solution for power smoothing can be easily found by using a supercapacitor-based storag ...
Supercapacitors are components for energy storage. Due to their series resistors, the energy efficiency of supercapacitors can be low. In this paper, the unloading of supercapacitors with constant current and power are studied, to identify and take into ac ...
Supercapacitors are components for energy storage, well dedicated for applications where energy storage can help to the smoothing of strong and short time power solicitations of a distribution network. Those properties are developed for two examples. The f ...
Because of their low voltage level, supercapacitors need arrangement with series connection in order to obtain voltage levels from few dozen to few hunderd of volts. As for batteries, devices have then to be defined to balance the voltages across each seri ...
