Aowei ultracapacitor technology has application for trams
Ultracapacitors store energy and electrify different types of vehicles. Unlike lithium batteries, they are better suited for heavy-duty applications since they are recognized for their robustness, safety, long service life, and resistance to temperature fluctuations.
Aowei’s Ultracapacitors are energy storage technology that offers high power density, almost instant charging and discharging, high reliability, extreme temperature tolerance, and a lifespan of 1,000,000 charge-discharge cycles.
The ultracapacitors series of high-energy organic hybrid ultracapacitors produced by Aowei is a cutting-edge energy storage technology that enables modern trams to operate without overhead supply cabling. This leads to a reduction in the cost of infrastructure and businesswise is a more profitable solution for public transport operators.
There are three types of tram operation modes with UC offered to the operators:
- Full-line Catenary-free
0~100% State-Of-Charge method for fully charged of ultracapacitor from 3 to 4 minutes.
Ultracapacitor lifespan is 1 million cycles/ 10 calendar years. - Partial line catenary-free
Charging method is onboarding high power DC/DC charging.
Ultracapacitor lifespan is 1 million cycles/ 10 calendar years. - Cross-section catenary-free
Charging method is onboarding high power DC/DC charging.
Ultracapacitor lifespan is 1 million cycles/ 10 calendar years.
