Capacitors
ABSTRACT
The paper[2] represents the background of the capacitors. Over the
last decade, significant increases in capacitor performance, especially
in reliability and energy/power densities, have been achieved for en-
ergy discharge applications. Recent innovations in analysis of aging
are introduced for predicting component performance and fault tol-
erance, especially relevant for very high energy storage applications
necessary for next generation simulators, electrically energized fusion
research machines, and advanced high power electronics for commer-
cial, industrial, and military applications Emerging power electronics
applications in the millisecond and longer time are projected to have a
broad application need for electrochemical chemical double layer capac-
itors, especially for compact sizes as this technology has the potential of
achieving energy densities of many 20 kJ/kg for discharge times of tens
of seconds. Higher power density prismatic power electronics enables
a broad range of applications in the commercial arena in areas such
as motor drives, inverters, power quality systems, and mobile power
systems.
