Ultracapacitors are also known as Supercapacitors or Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) which stores the energy in an electric field rather electrochemically. Today, automotive industries have gone under a drastic change from internal combustion engine to electric and hybrid engines.
Ultracapacitors are electrochemical devices that store energy electrostatically by polarizing an electrolytic solution but there is no chemical reactions occur to store the energy. They are charged and discharged number of times and are highly reversible.
The cars have become a sophisticated vehicle with electronic subsystems and accessories and due to the increasing demand of electric power in such vehicles, so there is a need of a component which can overcome the problem of battery, energy storage, cost effective delivery, charging rate and high maintenance. For this purpose, Ultracapacitors have been designed to fill the automotive power gaps. High energy lead acid batteries and Ultracapacitors together can achieve high energy, charging, cycle stability and efficiency.
The power of ultracapacitors can be used to save energy because when the vehicle stops, it allows the engine to stop as well and then instantly restarts it. Ultracapacitors also captures the regenerated braking energy thus increases the efficiency and lower down the level of pollution. Ultracapacitors play a major role in improving the power management in hybrid electric vehicles and extend battery life. If we compare the performance of engines using Ultracapacitors with conventional diesel engines, it can be seen that fuel consumption has been reduced by more than 50% and emission is lowered by 90%.
Ultracapacitors are also utilized by the fuel cell based engines. These types of engines are very big in size and expensive. But hybrid engines having fuel cell with the Ultracapacitors not only brings down the cost but also achieves the maximum load condition.
Advantages of Ultracapacitors:
Long Lifetime
More Efficient
Environmentally Friendly
Extremely Safe
Offer 10 times more power.
Function even in cold weather at -400C
Crystal Oscillator
A crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces electrical oscillations at a particular designed frequency determined by the physical characteristics of one or more crystals generally of quartz positioned in the circuit feedback loop
The Essential Role of Load Break Switches in High Voltage Power Systems
Load break switches play a crucial role in the control and safety of electrical power systems, particularly at high voltage levels. These switches are designed to safely interrupt the flow of electricity, allowing for maintenance or emergency handling without causing damage to the system or danger to personnel. With the ability to handle several hundred thousand volts, load break switches are a key component in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of power distribution.
Use of LED and Photodiode in Pulse Oximetry
Pulse-oximetry technology was available in 1930's it became easily available only in the 1980's with advances in the Light Emitting Diode (LED) microprocessors, optical plethysmography and spectro-photometry. Today pulse-oximetry provides a simple, non-invasive, portable and inexpensive method to continuously monitor oxygen saturation and heart rate with good accuracy
