12f capacitor short-term energy storage module

What are Eaton supercapacitor modules?

Eaton supercapacitor modules are high reliability, high power, ultra-high capacitance energy storage devices utilizing electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) technology with proprietary materials and processes.

What are energy storage capacitors?

Energy storage capacitors can typically be found in remote or battery powered applications. Capacitors can be used to deliver peak power, reducing depth of discharge on batteries, or provide hold-up energy for memory read/write during an unexpected shut-off.

What is ultra-capacitor module design?

The ultra-capacitor module is the core of a short-term energy storage system. Performances of the storage system, such as efficiency, life span, reliability, size, and cost strongly depend on the way the ultra-capacitor module is selected and designed. In this chapter, the ultra-capacitor module design is extensively discussed.

What are supercapacitor modules?

Supercapacitor modules are an emerging technology in larger scale energy storage segment for infrastructure backup power, peak power shaving, heavy transportation, automotive, utility grid and microgrid services.

What is the operating temperature range for Eaton supercapacitor modules?

The standard operating temperature range for Eaton supercapacitor modules is –40 °C to +65 °C. Temperature in combination with voltage can affect the lifetime of a supercapacitor. In general, an increase of ambient temperature by 10 °C will decrease the lifetime of a supercapacitor by a factor of two.

What are energy storage capacitor specifications?

Capacitor specifications of capacitance, DC leakage current (DCL), equivalent series resistance (ESR), size, etc. are typically room temperature measurements under a very specific test condition. Furthermore, energy storage capacitors will often be set up in some parallel/series combination that can pose unique challenges or unexpected behaviour.
