Ultracapacitors, also known as supercapacitors or electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC), are advanced energy storage devices characterized by their high capacitance values. Unlike traditional capacitors, ultracapacitors can store and deliver significantly more energy, making them ideal for applications requiring rapid and reliable bursts of power. They excel in various industries, from automotive and transportation to renewable energy and consumer electronics, offering efficient energy storage solutions with exceptional longevity and performance.

enyGy's enyCell ultracapacitors have demonstrated their superior quality and safety by successfully completing UL810A testing, thus earning recognition as UL-recognized components. This accomplishment underscores enyGy's commitment to adhering to rigorous standards and ensuring the reliability and compliance of its products. By meeting UL requirements, enyGy guarantees that its ultracapacitors meet industry-leading safety standards, providing customers with confidence in the performance and dependability of their energy storage solutions.

Energy is stored by means of an electric double layer formed at the surface of a porous electrode through the physical adsorption of ions. The traditional electrode material is activated carbon. In the case of enyGcell ultracapacitors poised for launch at the end of 2024, the electrodes in these cells are made of enyGy's proprietary graphene technology, providing higher energy storage characteristics. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes, ions from the electrolyte solution between the electrodes migrate to the oppositely charged surfaces. This process forms an electric double layer, where positive ions accumulate on the negative electrode and negative ions accumulate on the positive electrode. Overall, the combination of electric double-layer formation allows ultracapacitors to store energy electrostatically, enabling them to deliver rapid bursts of power and exhibit high power density.

Yes, ultracapacitors are capable of handling high current levels effectively. One of the key advantages of ultracapacitors is their ability to deliver and absorb high levels of current quickly and efficiently. This is due to their low internal resistance and high power density, which allows them to discharge rapidly when needed and recharge rapidly when power is available. As a result, ultracapacitors are well-suited for applications that require rapid bursts of power or frequent cycling, such as hybrid and electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial machinery. Specifically, the ability of an ultracapacitor to handle high current is closely related to its Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). Ultracapacitors have low ESR values, enabling them to handle high current because less energy is lost as heat within the device during charging and discharging processes. Lower ESR enables ultracapacitors to discharge rapidly and recharge quickly, making them suitable for applications requiring high-power bursts or frequent cycling.

Ultracapacitors offer a flexible operating voltage range, unlike traditional batteries which often require a narrow window. Designers only need to consider the voltage range of the system, which can be broader compared to battery requirements. Ultracapacitors can operate within any voltage below their maximum continuous operating voltage. This range spans from the maximum rated voltage down to 0 volts. To attain higher voltages, multiple cells are arranged in series and operated at or below their total series maximum voltage. Importantly, there is no risk of over-discharging the ultracapacitor, contributing to their reliability and versatility in various applications.

Ultracapacitors exhibit exceptional temperature resilience as they function independently of chemical reactions. This enables them to operate across a broad temperature spectrum. At elevated temperatures, they remain operational up to 85°C without the risk of thermal runaway. Conversely, even in extreme cold conditions down to -40°C, ultracapacitors can still deliver power, albeit with slightly increased resistive losses. Notably, enyGy ultracapacitors are designed to operate effectively in a range extending up to 65°C and down to -40°C, ensuring reliable performance across diverse environmental conditions.

Leakage Current: This refers to the current that ultracapacitors draw from a source even after reaching full voltage. This current diminishes over time and is typically measured after the ultracapacitor has been on charge for 72 hours. Self-Discharge: Self-discharge denotes the rate at which voltage decreases when the ultracapacitor is not connected to any circuit. This rate depends on the state of charge at disconnection. An ultracapacitor charged quickly and left idle will discharge more rapidly than one held on charge for an extended period. Additionally, the rate of discharge varies as the voltage decreases. Equation: I = C dv/dt or time = capacitance value * voltage change / current.

Ultracapacitors diverge from batteries in that they lack a defined end-of-life scenario. End of life (EOL) for ultracapacitors occurs when capacitance and/or Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) degrade beyond the requirements of the application. In the event of failure, ultracapacitors typically experience a premature end of life, manifesting as degradation to a virtual open circuit. Unlike batteries, ultracapacitors do not exhibit short circuiting or other catastrophic failure modes.

Ultracapacitor integration focuses primarily on maintaining the ultracapacitor within its broad operating range of voltage and temperature. Ultracapacitors can be arranged either in series or in parallel. Given the low voltage characteristics of a single ultracapacitor cell, most applications necessitate multiple cells in series to meet the required voltage. As each cell may have slight variations in capacitance and resistance, it's essential to balance or prevent individual cells from exceeding their rated voltage. Passive Balancing: Passive balancing involves maintaining consistent voltage regulation regardless of the ultracapacitor's condition. The most common method of passive balancing utilizes resistors. The principle of resistive balancing entails placing resistors in parallel with the ultracapacitors. Active Balancing: Active voltage balancing is preferable for applications with limited energy sources or high cycling levels. An active circuit typically draws lower current in a steady state and only requires larger currents when the cell voltage is imbalanced. The maximum current varies depending on the product.

Ultracapacitors are inherently maintenance-free devices. They do not suffer from memory effects, are immune to over-discharge, and can be maintained at any voltage within or below their rating. As long as they are operated within their broad ranges of voltage and temperature, no specific maintenance is required.

Selecting the appropriate ultracapacitor and determining the optimal quantity depends on the specific application. To ensure proper system sizing, several factors need consideration: Maximum and minimum operating voltage of the application. Average current or power requirements. Peak current or power demands. Operating environment temperature. Required runtime for the application. Desired lifespan of the application. Given that ultracapacitors are typically low-voltage devices, their rated voltage is often lower than the voltage required by the application. Understanding the maximum application voltage (Vmax) is crucial for determining the number of capacitor cells needed to be connected in series. Determining the number of series-connected ultracapacitor cells is based on: Following this, by considering the average current (I) in amperes, the desired run time (dt) in seconds, and the minimum operating voltage (Vmin), one can estimate the system capacitance required for optimal performance. The cumulative system capacitance is determined by the combined capacitance of all ultracapacitors connected in series to achieve Vmax. When capacitors are connected in series, the individual cell capacitance is determined by: To attain the necessary energy when ultracapacitors are connected in parallel, the capacitance is determined by: Please note: Several other factors must be considered for accurately sizing the application with ultracapacitors. These include the internal resistance of the ultracapacitor, crucial for managing sudden voltage drops when current is applied, as well as the ambient operating temperature, which influences both the internal resistance and the lifespan of the ultracapacitor. Additionally, it's essential to factor in the expected lifespan of the application itself. Understanding the performance requirements of the ultracapacitor at the end of the application's life is vital for ensuring the initial sizing of the system is appropriate.

The lifespan of ultracapacitors is commonly evaluated in calendar years, dependent primarily on two factors: voltage and temperature. Similar to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the life expectancy of ultracapacitors shares a parallel trend. Notably, the lifespan of ultracapacitors will double for every 10°C decrease in temperature or for every 0.1V decrease in voltage. L1: Load life rating - The duration the supercapacitor typically operates under specified conditions, commonly around 1000 hours at the rated temperature. L2: Expected life at operating condition - The anticipated lifespan of the supercapacitor under its intended usage parameters. Tm: Maximum temperature rating - The highest temperature the supercapacitor can withstand safely. Ta: Ambient temperature - The environmental temperature in which the supercapacitor will operate in the application. Vr: Rated voltage - The voltage level specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance. Va: Applied voltage - The actual voltage applied to the supercapacitor during operation.
