650V DC ride-through system ultra capacitor version: System description and test results. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:354976
Over the past decade, the need for effective short-term energy storage has become evident as a result of the sensitivity of modern equipment to power system disturbances. Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD) are some of the more sensitive electronic systems used in modern manufacturing facilities. The interruption of continuous processes due to the inability of the SD to ride through voltage sags or momentary outages may lead to significant financial losses. This report describes an ultracapacitor version of a ride-through system developed by Maxwell Technologies.
