Ultracap Modules
Supercap modules are a promising alternative to batteries for energy storage systems, especially for highly cyclically loaded systems such as AGVs or manufacturing operations. Unlike batteries, supercaps can absorb and release large amounts of energy quickly without ageing or wearing out. CAPCOMP has many years of experience in designing complex energy storage systems with standard ultracap modules for stationary and mobile solutions in AGVs, as well as customer-specific special systems.
Ultracap modules are climate protection
The enormous capacity of individual cells of up to 3000F enables the production of large-scale modules, so that, for example, trams can travel long distances without an overhead line and store the energy gained during braking (recuperation).
High-power cells of up to 3000F and very low internal resistance are used, for example, in buses and commercial vehicles for energy recovery and contribute significantly to fuel savings, cost savings and emission reductions of CO2. In addition, the high performance modules can be used at operating temperatures of up to -40°C.

Ultracap modules in wind turbines
Pitch control, or blade pitch control, in wind turbines is a prominent example of the use of high-performance modules. The benefit for the user in this solution is the low maintenance of the accumulators. Maintenance work on the wind turbines is expensive and a failure of the system costs additional money.
In addition, supercaps have established themselves in this industry as energy storage for emergency supply due to their cycle stability.
