Supercapacitors And Lithium Ion Capacitors

Batteries are the most common solution to ensure back-up power supply in a UPS solution, but they also are the weakest link in the system and the leading cause of power-related downtime.
SOCOMEC proposes Lithium-Ion capacitor and supercpacitor UPS & back-up systems that are innovative energy storage solutions providing reliable back-up power for protecting critical applications from unplanned system outages.

Power supply continuity is a vital function for every critical application. The availability of a quality power supply is ensured by a UPS system, while the emergency energy to be provided during a power outage is stored using lead-acid batteries.
When the power fails, the UPS draws its power from banks of batteries until it is able to start and synchronize standby generators.

If lead-acid batteries are the most cost-effective energy solution, they are also unreliable and temperature sensitive, causing unexpected failures leading to power-related downtime. Lead-acid batteries also require long recharging cycles, regular maintenance and also constant monitoring to ensure their availability and extend their life-cycle.
