2. Sizing and balancing supercapacitors

2.1 Sizing

A supercapacitor module is sized according to a set of specifications based on the power required and the duration over which the module is to deliver this power. The sizing methodology is illustrated by the diagram in figure 8 . This method consists of :

• set voltage and current ratings ;

• determine the total capacity of the supercapacitor module to be used ;

• determine the number of elements to be connected in series N _series and in parallel N _parallel...
