Application of supercapacitor to power small electronic appliances

Abstract

The supercapacitor has been considered as a source of potential power. The charging of supercapacitor module has been established from photovoltaic module along with a constant voltage constant current converter to power Li-ion battery compatible systems. Fast charging feature of supercapacitors with a compatible photovoltaic module and a power converter is of great use in rural area, where grid power is not available, as a small community charging module can benefit multiple users. In this paper the charging of supercapacitor and discharging of it to a small electronic gadget has been considered.
