METHOD FOR PACKAGING AND CONNECTING ULTRACAPACITORS FOR ENERGY STORAGE PURPOSES ESPECIALLY FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

An ultracapacitor energy storage system and in particular a system for packaging and connecting ultracapacitors (15) for energy storage purposes is described which is applicable in automotive and stationary applications. The ultracapacitors (15) in the system can be in series or parallel or a Combination of both. A controller, relays, voltage monitoring and isolation fault detection are used to regulate the system. The mechanical construction of frame and different pluggable modules (2 and 7) lead to an easy in and de-installation of the different parts. The different constructions are designed with a safe handling by the operator in mind.
