Simulation of double-layer capacitor performance in two PMAD applications
Recent developments in double-layer capacitor technology have yielded devices with increased capacitance and energy storage capability. As a result, these capacitors can now be considered for higher power and energy applications such as electric vehicle acceleration and electromechanical actuation. Presented in this paper are the results from an examination into using double-layer capacitors in two high power applications. The first is the starting transient of a large DC motor from a battery with and without a double-layer capacitor bank. In the second, a double-layer capacitor bank is used with an inverter to provide ride-through capability to a load during a fault on an AC power system. Both applications are simulated using SABER, a commercial software package.
