Supercapacitor Basics
Supercapacitors are a type of energy storage electronic component with a few prominent features. They:
Feature a high power density
Can charge and discharge quickly
Have long operating life times

Engineering a Practical High Power Solution
Traditional Supercapacitors
Supercapacitors are components, not solutions. They cannot readily plug into grids, microgrids, facilities, or data centers where they are needed.
C-Link Supercapacitor Modules
Exactly. Capacitech takes care of everything to provide a turnkey solution ready to scale, module by module.
Supercapacitor OEMs focus on material science rather than integration and installation, which is okay, but requires custom engineering efforts to deploy in high-voltage, high-power applications where they are most needed today.
We source off the shelf solutions to access the latest and greatest supercapacitor performance at scale so we can focus on delivering solutions that work for you for the most dynamic loads in the toughest environments where failure is not an option.
Custom engineered solutions are expensive, take a long time and are often project application specific. Final assemblies complicated and are difficult to maintain.
We use advanced power electronics, power management algorithms, and CAN communication protocols to deliver scale without custom engineering efforts.
Supercapacitor cells are placed in modules, which then require cabinets and enclosures with fuses, cooling, and other auxiliary equipment. Resulting installations are heavy and take up space better utilized for other resources.
Modularity does not mean connecting passive modules together and calling it a system. Our modules have the technology ecosystems needed to be plug and play solutions. Plus, a combiner box design that scales and shows actionable information.
Supercapacitor modules have overvoltage and over temperature alarms, but not way to correct the issue. Series connected modules do not communicate with others in the system.
Our power management algorithm includes overvoltage monitoring that solves problems before they cause downtime. Voltage and temperature provided in real time at combiner box.
Balancing systems, which correct voltage differences between cells and modules due to intrinsic manufacturing differences, are too slow for dynamic modern applications. This accelerates degradation, leads to oversizing, and increases safety risks.
Traditional balancing designs are based on those used for battery management systems. The result is slow, low power balancing which is insufficient for modern loads. We balance 20x faster using high power and precise balancing systems rooted in advanced power electronic design.
Industry wide supply chains are strong, but individual OEMs can have backlogs as their catalog spans hundreds of supercapacitor sizes and configurations.
We are vendor agnostic to prioritize speed, quality, and cost. We maintain relationships with supercapacitor OEMs and distributors to deliver premium components in your system.
Knowledge gaps exist between the material science, power electronics, system integration, and application engineering teams that result in misinformation and unreliable installations.
Capacitech is run by a team of technical experts working together every step of the way. We understand component data sheets, power quality reports, and how they impact one another.
