Hello all -
Has anyone done any work involving ultra capacitors? The application I'm looking at involves using batteries between a DC gen and an inverter. I'm looking at replacing the batteries with an ultra capacitor - maybe something in the 24V, 100F range.
The reason for the batteries is the system has large, short term, cyclic loading. A battery bank allows the gen to be sized a lot smaller and keeps the gen rpm/output voltage stabile.
The idea is a bit outside of the box, but if it works, I think it will significantly simplify the system.
