Light rail supercapacitor discharge price

Can ultracapacitors revolutionize the rail industry?

Ultracapacitors have the potential to revolutionize the rail industry. Our technology can significantly improve train efficiency - reduce costs and CO2 emissions, increase energy savings and dynamics of the train.

What are the applications of supercapacitor energy storage?

Supercapacitor applications range from large scale grid applications to electric vehicles and small-scale applications, and are commonly used in electric rail transit systems. Examples of its application in electric rail transit systems are presented in Table 2. Table 2. Application of supercapacitor energy storage (SESS) in rail transit systems.

How can ultracapacitor technology improve train efficiency?

The implementation of ultracapacitor technology provides effective voltage stabilization for rail systems, greatly improves the performance of propulsion for light rail vehicles and significantly advances the locomotive engine starting technologies. At Skeleton Technologies, we offer four different solutions to improve train efficiency.

How much does a supercapacitor cost?

Fixed cost was considered 2% of the initial cost and included the cost of annual tax and insurance. The variable cost for the supercapacitor was 6.7 $ /kW per year and included the cost of periodical inspection of the cells and interconnection cable and fixing, if there was a problem confirming the DC voltage and current.
