Low power
Capacitors are extensively used as power back-up for memory functions in a wide
range of consumer products such as mobile phones, laptops and radio tuners.
Used in pulsed applications to share the load and for providing peak power
assistance to reduce the duty cycle on the battery to prolong battery life in products
or devices using mechanical actuators such as digital cameras.
Also used for energy storage for solar panels, and motor starters.
High power
The shortcomings above render supercapacitors unsuitable as primary power source
for EV and HEV applications however their advantages make them ideal for
temporary energy storage for capturing and storing the energy from regenerative
braking and for providing a booster charge in response to sudden power demands.
Since the capacitor is normally connected in parallel with the battery in these
applications, it can only be charged up to the battery upper voltage level and it can
only be discharged down to the battery lower discharge level, leaving considerable
unusable charge in the capacitor, thus limiting its effective or useful energy storage
capacity.
Using supercapacitors in EVs and HEVs to facilitate regenerative braking can add
15% to 25% to the range of the vehicle.
At the same time, supercapacitors can provide an effective short duration peak
power boost allowing the prime battery to be downsized.
It should be noted however that while supercapacitors can be used to to provide the
increased range and short term power, it is at the cost of considerable added weight
and bulk of the system, and this should be weighed against the advantages of using
higher capacity batteries.
Supercapacitors are also used to provide fast acting short term power back up for
UPS applications. By combining a capacitor with a battery-based uninterruptible
power supply system, the life of the batteries can be extended. The batteries
provide power only during the longer interruptions, reducing the peak loads on the
battery and permitting the use of smaller batteries.
