UltracapacitorsM for Use in Power Quality and Distributed Resource Applications
ABSTRACT
The paper [8] shows that ultracapacitor an emerging storage technol-
ogy already being used for applications such as DC motor drives, UPS
systems and electric vehicles. The latest EC store enough energy to
rival a lead-acid battery and can outperform batteries in several key
performance parameters such as power density, cycle life and tempera-
ture sensitivity. As the EC technology improves further, an impressive
world of applications should emerge. These applications include in-
termittent renewable energy storage, bulk power system peak shaving,
load leveling, and various other distributed resource possibilities. This
paper also provided the list of companies who make the supercapacitor.
