Ultra-capacitors, used as short-term energy storage devices, aregrowing in popularity especially in the transportation andrenewable energy sectors. This text provides an up-to-date andcomprehensive analysis of ultra-capacitor theory, modeling andmodule design from an application perspective, focusing on thepractical aspects of power conversion and ultra-capacitorintegration with power electronics systems.

Key features:

* clearly explains the theoretical and practical aspects ofultra-capacitor, analysis, modelling and design

* describes different power conversion applications such asvariable speed drives, renewable energy systems, traction, powerquality, diesel electric hybrid applications

* provides detailed guidelines for the design and selection ofultra-capacitor modules and interface dc-dc converters

* includes end-of-chapter exercises and design examples

This is an essential reference for power electronics engineersand professionals wanting to expand their knowledge of advancedultra-capacitor energy storage devices and their application inpower conversion. It is also a valuable resource forindustrial design engineers as well as academics and advancedstudents in power electronics who want to develop theirunderstanding about this highly topical subject.
