Ultracapacitors: The Next Big Energy Storage Technology of the Decade

In comparison, ultracapacitors are a powerful energy source, where power surge requirements have to be met, and have already found immense use in consumer electronics such as mobile phones and PDAs. Among the other potential application sectors, UPS applications, renewable energy systems such as windmills, and other industrial equipment are also fast realizing the need for a superior energy storage device. Likewise, transportation applications are looking to improve fuel consumption and provide more luxuries in basic automobiles and, ultracapacitors, with their higher power density as well as product life cycle, promise a complete solution to the increasing power needs of these new applications.
