Future development of supercapacitors is vast

Supercapacitors are a new type of energy storage components and are mainly used in fields such as hybrid vehicles, wind power generation, power equipment, military high-power equipment, and rail transit. Long-life, high-energy density, while providing super power, with new components that combine capacitance and battery characteristics. The rapid application and promotion of super capacitors in various application industries, in addition to their own unique product performance, technical advantages, but also the national policy to promote and support. With the promotion and application of the super capacitor scale, it has made great breakthroughs in terms of price, technology and other aspects. In the future, supercapacitors will have a broader space for development and will play a major role in promoting global low-carbon, environmental protection, and rapid improvement of the human living environment.

Overall market demand analysis

National policy guidance is still the main driving force for the development of the industry. In areas such as new energy vehicles, wind power, rail transportation, electricity, and military industries, policy promotion will become one of the main factors for the development of super capacitors. According to relevant data, the forecast for 2013 China's ultracapacitor market is expected to be approximately RMB 1.92 billion, and in 2016 it will increase to RMB 3.3 billion, with an average annual growth rate of around 20%.

New Energy Vehicles: Energy-Saving Hybrid Buses Main Products

Under the promotion of energy and environmental protection policies, new energy vehicles have been listed as one of the strategic emerging industries in China during the 12th Five-Year Plan period and will focus on the development of plug-in hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicle technologies. Carry out plug-in hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles research and development and large-scale commercial demonstration projects, and promote industrialization and application.

In the hybrid bus market, with the promotion of new energy vehicles in the “Ten Cities, Thousands” end in March of this year, subsidies for new energy buses will be used up in the first half of this year. It is expected that the subsidies for new energy buses will also be granted this year. With the increase, the sales of new energy buses will exceed the 5,000 vehicles previously subsidized. In addition, the “National Ten Articles” proposed speeding up the elimination of “Yellow Label Vehicles”. Local governments have also introduced detailed rules to eliminate yellow label vehicles within the prescribed time limit. It is imperative to eliminate “Yellow Label Standard Vehicles” and it will create 630,000 vehicles in the next three years. The demand for new passengers will be updated, and new energy buses will become one of the major passenger car market supplements and developments.

In the electric starting system of the diesel locomotive, the super capacitor-assisted starting device is adopted. Due to its very high power density, it can better meet the power demand of the electric vehicle when starting, accelerating and climbing, if used with a power battery. , can reduce the high current charge and discharge damage to the battery, extend battery life, and has a very high energy recovery.

Power Industry: Wind Power Market Resumes Growth

Due to the rapid development of domestic wind power and the rapid expansion of production capacity that led to frequent safety incidents in the past, in 2011, the state regained the power to approve wind power projects. After the industry reshuffled, the entire industry became more mature and investment became more rational. In May, the "Decision of the State Council on Canceling and Decentralizing a Batch of Administrative Examination and Approval Items, etc." was formally issued. The approval of enterprises for investment in wind power plant projects was transferred from the former National Development and Reform Commission to the local government investment authority. Decentralization of the approval authority will benefit the wind power industry. Restore growth. From January to April 2013, 20 large-scale wind farm projects approved by the National Energy Administration have been approved to carry out preliminary work, with a total scale of 3.8 million kilowatts. According to industry forecasts, in 2013 China's new installed capacity of wind power is expected to return to 15-16 million kilowatts, which is about 20% lower than last year's low. The domestic wind power market is expected to reach 18-20 million kilowatts by the end of the “Twelfth Five-year Plan” period. In addition, according to the medium and long-term development plan for renewable energy, by 2015, the cumulative installed capacity of grid-connected wind power will reach 100 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation will exceed 190 billion kwh, of which offshore wind power will have an installed capacity of 5 million kilowatts. By 2020, cumulative grid-connected wind power will be cumulative. The installed capacity of wind power reached 200 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation exceeded 390 billion kwh, of which offshore wind power installed capacity reached 30 million kilowatts.

Super capacitor applications in the power industry are mainly in the following areas:

1. Backup power supply for wind power pitch system, with the ability to quickly charge and discharge;

2. FTU backup power supply. When there is electricity on the line, the DC/DC power supply module provides the working power supply for the FTU, and the super capacitor provides the electric opening mechanism of the switchgear to switch off the power supply. When the line starts to lose power, the supercapacitor acts as a backup power source of the FTU, and also provides an opening power supply for the electric opening mechanism of the switchgear;

3, micro-grid super capacitor energy storage system, used to adjust the micro-grid power, and provide micro-grid power support.

Rail transit: low noise, low vibration, energy saving

According to the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” target of the rail transit equipment industry, urban rail transit equipment will move toward low-noise, low-vibration, energy-saving products, and strengthen key key components such as traction systems, braking systems, bogies, and transportation controls. Systems, etc., as well as technical development and industrialization of vehicle station electromechanical equipment, fire extinguishing systems, automatic train protection systems, and automatic train driving systems.

There are two main operating modes for ultracapacitors used in urban rail systems. One is energy storage. It absorbs the energy generated during vehicle braking and does not release energy until the rear vehicle is in an accelerated state. In the system; one is as a voltage regulator, it is always kept in a high-capacity state, and discharge starts when the voltage of the power supply system is lower than a specified value.
