The voltage of an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) depends on its charging state. Thus, the voltage at the terminals increases or decreases as soon as the EDLC becomes charged or discharged. To provide a stable voltage, the EDLC is often operated with a DC/DC conversion. Depending on the required power and charging voltage , it is required to design a module (see more: Constant Power Discharge Modul Calculator)
The EDLC module must provide the power required by the application. The EDLC Module Calculator calculates the size of the stack (module) based on the application parameter. Based on a given
- power demand,
- discharge time, and
- lower discharge limit,
the calculator provides the number of series and parallel connected EDLCs (defined by rated capacitance Cr and rated Equivalent series resistance (ESR) RESR ) as well as plots and other electrical parameters, such as total module capacitance C and total ESR R.
