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 ...
Supercapacitor represent one of the newest innovations in the field of electrical energy rtorage, and are subject of several developments in the industry for many different and news applications. Supercapacitors, which can supply a high instantaneous power ...
Many electric power generators use gas turbines as power sources. Typically they are connected to the turbines through a mechanical gearbox in order to adapt their synchronous speed to the optimal rotation speed of the turbine, which is very often much hig ...
Recent developments make appear new devices for energy storage, such as supercapacitors. Those components are able to store a high energy density. Even if this energy is still lower than the energy batteries can store, thos components can be loaded and/or ...
This paper presents a hybrid energy storage system mainly based on Compressed Air, where the storage and withdrawal of energy are done within maximum efficiency conditions. As these maximum efficiency conditions impose the level of converted power, an inte ...
This paper presents a hybrid energy storage system based on Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), where the extraction of energy is done within maximum efficiency conditions. As the maximum efficiency conditions impose the level of converted power, an inte ...

Diesel-electric traction is a well-established technology in railways systems, mainly for lines with a low traffic potential. In those conditions, the choice of a diesel-powered locomotive is due to the reduced costs compared to the infrastructure cost of ...
The CONDOPT (CONDuctor OPTimization) experiment has been recently completed in SULTAN. The current sharing behavior of Nb-3 Sn samples was assessed as a function of the number of cyclic loads experienced during current sweeps in a 10 T background field. We ...
Supercapacitors are new components ale to store a high energy density aven if this energy is still lower than the energy batteries can store. This paper shows how supercapacitors can be used to supply electric vehicle such as busses and tramways. The "on-b ...
