Sizing and balancing supercapacitors
Applications of super capacitors

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.

The following parameters are defined:

• P power set by specifications ;
