Acapacitor(orcondenser) is atwo

terminaldevice used to storeenergyin


anelectric field.
When there is apotential
difference(voltage) across the conductors,
a staticelectric fielddevelops across the
dielectric, which causes positive charge to
collect on one plate and negative charge
on the other plate.Energyis stored in the
form of electrostatic field.

Supercapacitor Definition

Supercapacitors are electrochemical


devices with following features:
High energy density.
High power density.
High capacitance.
Longer life
3

Super capacitor are energy

storage device of capable of


delivers power much higher
rate than battery.
The super capacitors are used
in modern cars as energy
recovery system.
4

In comparison to

battery ,super capacitor


have low energy capacity.
But it gives 10 to 100 time
more power than battery.
5

Explain power and


energy
To help understand the difference between power and

energy lets use an analogy of bucket of water with a


hole in it.
Water can only leave the bucket via the hole
analogous to power.
The amount of water that can be held with the bucket
is analogous to the energy capacity .
A larger hole in the bucket it shows that power was
increasing.
When the volume is increasing it increases the energy.

Comparison between power and energy

A super capacitor is a

small bucket with big


hole.
Where as a battery is
a big bucket with a
small hole

Principle Construction

It consists of
following
components:
Current collector:

Metal contacts are


used as current
collectors .

Actual structure in super capacitor

10

Polarized electrode:
Highly activated carbon is
used as electrode because of
following reasons:
It is highly porous
It has good conductivity
High temperature and chemical stability
Corrosion resistant

11

It contains dissolved and solvated ions that


migrate to and from the electrodes during
charge and discharge respectively.
Electrolytes are of two types:
Water soluble
Water insoluble

12

It acts as mechanical separation between


two electrodes.
It must provide electronic insulation

between the electrode of opposite


polarization
It must support ionic conduction
from one electrode to another.

Layman example for difference between

More power required for small


time interval in 200 m race

Constant but less power required for large


time in 20 km race

15

High energy storage


Low ESR (Equivalent series resistance )

and hence high power density


Appreciable operating temp.(-40C to 70C)
Eco-friendly

16

Low voltage per cell


It can't be used in AC &

high frequency circuits

18

Typical Applications

Used in Diesel engine start up in submarines &

tanks..
Can be used in f &V control in power systems
Used as backup energy source for GPS guided
missiles
