Ultracapacitors are an emerging form of energy storage that gives today's engineers more flexibility in design.

What?

Eric Bersano, Strategic Account Manager at Maxwell Technologies, will join Thomas L. Erekson, director of the School of Technology and associate dean of the College of Engineering & Technology at Brigham Young University, in a joint presentation on the design benefits of ultracapacitor technology at the Electrical Manufacturing Expo 2004 in Indianapolis next week. Ultracapacitors are an emerging form of energy storage that gives today's engineers more flexibility in design. Attendees will learn how ultracapacitors are allowing engineers to design lighter, cheaper, more efficient systems that will last the life of the product that they are being designed into. The Electrical Manufacturing Expo is an annual event for the design and manufacture of wound electrical components and finished electrical products.

Why?

Double layer capacitors or ultracapacitors, are a relatively new form of energy storage that give today's engineers more flexibility in design. They are made with common, inexpensive materials and have a simple construction. Ultracapacitors have a much higher capacitance than normal electrolytic capacitors and are significantly higher in power density when compared to batteries. This combination makes them well suited for several applications including hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, telemetry devices and back up power. The technology offers a highly reliable solution for applications that require no maintenance and a wide temperature range.
