ELECTROCHEMICAL SUPERCAPACITOR – APPLICATION AND GLOBAL DEMAND
ABSTRACT:
The steep increase in the energy utilization leads us to search for a perfect alternative that can replace the conventional source and introduces a new-generation capacitors called supercapacitors with incredible storage capacity. Much research and investment have been carried out in this impressive technology. It is same as that of the normal capacitor the only thing is it utilizes higher surface area electrode and thinner dielectric, which results in high capacitance. The value of this small device is immeasurable. They can charge and discharged over several rates without ill effects and can pack a couple of thousand farads in it. This paper gives an overview of research carried out in supercapacitor. This paper …show more content…
In the supercapacitor business, there are around two dozens of companies around the world which claimed to be manufacturing and selling supercapacitors. There are four companies which are dominates most of the market, and has been reported to occupy 82.3% of the world supercapacitor revenues. The four companies are Panasonic, Elna, Maxwell Technologies and Epcos. Other well known competitor includes NEC Tokin, Nesscap, Cap-XX, Batscap, Evan Capacitor, LS Mtron, AVX,ioxus,cellergy etc.
To obtain an unbiased point of view in the supercapacitor global demand analysis, the companies that were to be analyzed must be able to supply sufficient information in its involvement in the supercapacitor industry, such as company financial statements and sales figure and revenue from supercapacitors. Such information is extracted mainly through company annual reports from previous years. The data extracted would be able to show the trend of supercapacitor sales from previous years, and from there, predict the global demand in the
