Ultra-capacitors, used as short-term energy storage devices, are
growing in popularity especially in the transportation and
renewable energy sectors. This text provides an up-to-date and
comprehensive analysis of ultra-capacitor theory, modeling and
module design from an application perspective, focusing on the
practical aspects of power conversion and ultra-capacitor
integration with power electronics systems.

Key features:

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

* describes different power conversion applications such as
variable speed drives, renewable energy systems, traction, power
quality, diesel electric hybrid applications

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

* includes end-of-chapter exercises and design examples

This is an essential reference for power electronics engineers
and professionals wanting to expand their knowledge of advanced
ultra-capacitor energy storage devices and their application in
power conversion. It is also a valuable resource for
industrial design engineers as well as academics and advanced
students in power electronics who want to develop their
understanding about this highly topical subject.
