Supercapacitors

>  Presentation

 

A significant evolution in transport and energy areas is taking place

  • large increase in fuel prices
  • reinforcement of anti-pollution standards
  • new requirements for environment-friendly transportation systems adapted to city centres
  • increase in electrical systems and development of new comfort features in automotive
  • deregulation of energy and public transport markets

 

These evolutions require new energy storage technologies. Supercapacitors meet applications requiring high power values for short periods (ten seconds) and defined by a very high number of charge / discharge cycles (millions). This innovative technology feels the gap between capacitors and batteries.
