Ultracapacitors in Automotive

Find out the benefits of ultracapacitors applied to AUTOMOTIVE.

Ultracapacitors are becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry due to their ability to rapidly charge and discharge electrical energy, making them an ideal choice for applications such as regenerative braking and start-stop systems. Here are a few ways ultracapacitors can be used in the automotive industry:

•  Regenerative braking: When a vehicle brakes, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy which can be stored in an ultracapacitor. This energy can then be used to power the vehicle's electrical systems, reducing the load on the alternator and improving fuel efficiency.

•  Start-stop systems: Ultracapacitors can be used to power the starter motor in start-stop systems, which automatically turn off the engine when the vehicle is stationary and restart it when the driver releases the brake pedal. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions, while also prolonging the life of the battery.

• Peak power demands: Ultracapacitors can be used to provide additional power to the vehicle's electrical system during peak power demands, such as when starting the engine or accelerating rapidly. This reduces the strain on the battery and ensures that the vehicle's electrical system operates smoothly.

•  Cold weather operation: Ultracapacitors are able to operate in extremely low temperatures, which is particularly important for automotive applications in cold climates. This allows the ultracapacitors to provide reliable performance in situations where traditional batteries may fail.

Overall, ultracapacitors offer several advantages for the automotive industry, including improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and increased reliability. As a result, they are becoming an increasingly popular choice for energy storage in vehicles.
