The Application of Super Capacitor in Tram

1. The introduction of super capacitors


Super capacitor, also known as double layer capacitor, is a new type of energy storage device based on new materials and processes developed in 1960s, which obtains large capacity by using double layer structure composed of activated carbon porous electrode and electrolyte, and stores energy through the separation of charge on the electrode surface without Faraday reaction on its electrode. It has the characteristics of fast charging and discharging of capacitor and energy storage of battery, and can provide higher energy density than physical capacitor, higher power density and longer cycle life than battery.


Based on the characteristics of frequent start-up and high power flow of trams, super capacitors as stand-alone on-board energy storage devices can better meet the operational needs of trams. At present, trams using super capacitors as independent energy storage devices for power supply have been widely used around the world, KAMCAP, as one of the super capacitor manufacturers, can provide high-quality super capacitors.


2. The power supply system structure of super capacitors


The power supply system structure of modern trams using super capacitors as energy storage components is mainly composed of roof receiver system and super capacitor system. When the tram enters the station area, the receptor contacts with the power supply rail and collects current from the power supply rail, so as to quickly replenish the super capacitor with power during the short train stopping time.
