Ultracapacitors: Emerging Technologies for High-Power Energy Storage

Ultracapacitors: Emerging Technologies for High-Power Energy Storage published by Technology Research News, LLC in February, 2010. This report price starts from US $ 1995.

Introduction

Abstract

Energy storage is a critical piece of the clean energy revolution, especially in transportation and renewable energy generation. Ultracapacitors are poised to play a pivotal role in energy storage by meeting the needs of high-power applications:

• acceleration power and breaking energy capture for hybrid and electric vehicles
• acceleration power and breaking energy capture for trains
• smoothing the flow of energy from wind and solar onto the grid

Energy Research News' in-depth report provides a comprehensive view of ultracapacitor technologies and applications, and analyzes how ultracapacitors for transportation, grid and industrial applications will evolve over the next few years.

• how ultracapacitors will change hybrid/electric vehicles, rail and renewable energy
• how ultracapacitor technology is changing
• who is driving the change

The report includes profiles of 15 startups, 27 manufacturers, 29 suppliers and other companies, and 52 researchers. The profiles list key intellectual property, research papers and funding awards.
