Abstract
Double-layer capacitors (DLC) with porous carbon electrodes and aprotic electrolytes have been developed and investigated. A theoretical model has been proposed to describe the discharge of DLC into different load resistances. The model includes two RC circuits in parallel, and its adequacy is illustrated by the results obtained for a battery having the following characteristics: working voltage of 15 V, capacitance of 300 F and internal resistance of ca. 0.01 Ω. Plots of energy vs. time at different load resistances and electrical power vs. load resistance have been obtained. A conclusion has been drawn as to good prospects for DLC as pulse power sources, e.g. for load-levelling the battery in an electric vehicle.
