Hybrid Energy Storage
Physical Storage Systems (UltraCap)
UltraCaps store energy using an electric field
Highlights:
- very fast charging and discharging
- maximum efficiency and lifetime
- up to 1,000,000 cycles
- high energy density
- minimum size / weight
Chemical Storage Systems (Battery)
Batteries on the other hand use a chemical reaction to store energy.
The charging and discharging process takes place comparatively slowly.
Hybrid store: the
As can be seen in the graph, the characteristics of SuperCaps and batteries do not match.
-> the passive combination brings only a few advantages
DC/DC Booster
The active connection via a DC / DC booster combines the advantages of both storage technologies:
The "sprinting marathon runner"
Applications
- Hybrid Drivetrain
- Grid connection and stabilization
- Industrial equipment
