Abstract In the paper, the problem of voltage imbalance in supercapacitor bank caused by different capacitances and leakage resistances is considered. The authors propose capacitance balancing in combination with passive resistor voltage balancing as an efficient method for decreasing the cell voltage imbalance and increasing the effective energy capacity of supercapacitor bank. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated theoretically and verified experimentally on eight supercapacitor cells.

This paper explains about the supercapacitor cell voltage balancing circuits by comparing different topologies with regard to parameters like cost, balancing time, weight of the components used and control of switches. The advantage of supercapacitor over battery made to overcome weight and faster responding source problems. In supercapacitor bank cell voltages differ from each other which effects the performance of the device. Passive circuits consume power from cell for balancing but active circuits consume power from source. Many topologies are considered in this paper for different ratings and with different components. Balancing circuit is selected based upon total number of components in the balancing circuit, many components make circuit less reliable, complex and also increase the cost for balancing.

This paper presents the results of a -numerical transient model for phase change in a storage cell filled with a phase change material (PCM). Phase change occurs under the presence of natural convection. The PCM is encapsulated in a cylindrical energy storage cell. Two cases of PCM melting are analyzed, (1) the surface temperature of the bottom half of the cylindrical cell is kept at a constant temperature, which is higher than the melting temperature of the PCM, and (2) a fluid flows under the cell with an inlet temperature that is higher than the melting point of the PCM. The results show the evolution of the solid-liquid interface, isotherms and flow lines during the melting process.
