A supercapacitor or an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity electrochemical capacitor with
capacitance values as large as thousand farads. Supercapacitors combines the properties of
traditional batteries and capacitor in a single component.
Supercapacitors find their usage in applications requiring rapid charge/discharge time rather
than long term energy storage. They are used for regenerative braking, burst-mode power
delivery or short-term energy storage within trains, cranes, cars, buses, elevators and hybrid
electric vehicles (HEV). Smaller units of supercapacitors are utilized as memory backup for
static random-access memory (SRAM). Additionally, supercapacitors are also used in
applications involving solar power, batteries, battery back-up, and flash-lights.
A supercapacitor differs from the normal capacitor in two basic ways: the plates of a
supercapacitor have a larger surface area and the distance between them is much smaller, as
compared to the conventional capacitors. The separator between these plates works in a
different way than the conventional dielectric. A supercapacitor act like an ordinary capacitor,
however, it can store extremely large amounts of energy. Capacitors used in audio circuits have
capacitances in the ranges of 470 or 680 micro farads and those used in RF applications are as
small as 1 pico farad. In contrast to this, a normal supercapacitor can store a charge upto
several thousand farads.
Although, the large amount of charge represents only a small fraction of the electrical energy
that can...
