Energy management solutions for industrial applications Epic power Supercapacitor Converter (ESC) are a family of products based on the epic power non-isolated converter family combined with a custom designed supercapacitor module of 60 kJ The DC/DC converter is responsible for the power flow to and from the supercapacitor module while the module acts as a high-cycle energy buffer. Depending on the targeted industrial application different firmware can be implemented in the converter. Each configuration leads to a different industrial product: Energy recovery (ERS): ESC-60kJ-ERSPeak Shaving (PKS): ESC-60kJ-PKSElectronic counterweight (ECW): ESC-60kJ-ECWFast Emergency Supply for drives (FES): ESC-60kJ-FES Working with supercapacitors Benefits High power density> 97 % efficiencyHigh life expectancy > 1 Million cycles100 % DoD without degradationNo maintenanceEnergy stored in potencial > No leakageOperation at up to -40 ºC Requirements Current vs Voltage Variation: Discharge at constant power Supercapacitors provide high peak power with very low energy. DC converters must be able to work with a wide voltage range.
