Super Farad Capacitor Bus

What are supercapacitors & EDLC?

Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors and electric double layer capacitors (EDLC), are capacitors with capacitance values greater than any other capacitor type available today. Supercapacitors are breakthrough energy storage and delivery devices that offer millions of times more capacitance than traditional capacitors.

What is the maximum capacitance a supercapacitor can provide?

The maximum capacitance that these capacitors can provide is 1 Farad. If the higher capacitance is required, the capacitors will need to be quite large, which may or may not fit into typical electronic circuits. Enter the supercapacitor.

Can a supercapacitor electric bus be used in Hong Kong?

Development of a driving cycle for a supercapacitor electric bus route in Hong Kong Sustain Cities Soc, 48 ( 2019), 10.1016/j.scs.2019.101588 A green public transportation system using E-buses: a technical and commercial feasibility study Sustain Cities Soc, 51 ( 2019), 10.1016/j.scs.2019.101789

What are supercapacitors & how do they work?

Supercapacitors are breakthrough energy storage and delivery devices that offer millions of times more capacitance than traditional capacitors. They deliver rapid, reliable bursts of power for hundreds of thousands to millions of duty cycles – even in demanding conditions.
