In view of the high specific power of the supercaps, the installation of the supercap power storage modules on planes is perfect to allow the hatch opening operations and the activation of the inflatable slides in emergencies.
The supercap power storage modules fitted on the planes for safety reasons can completely replace the electrochemical batteries.
So, they determine a low plane weight impact, a less space occupied and high operating efficiency.
The hybrid and fully electric vehicles in the airports, like the planes towing tractors or airport shuttles, are suitable for use of the supercap power storage modules because of short drive taken.
The modules allow often and fast charging/discharging cycles without damage. Moreover, they ensure more benefits especially if fitted along with a KERS, absorbing and storing braking power and providing burst power to assist the ignition and acceleration operations.
When fitted on the planes towing tractors or on the airport shuttles, in case of hybrid vehicles, the supercap power storage modules combined with electrochemical batteries reduce the fuel consumption.
In case of fully electric vehicles, the supercap modules increase efficiency eliminating the harmful emissions in compliance with the environmental policy.
On the airport runways, the supercap power storage modules may be fitted like power storages for photovoltaic systems.
In fact, the accumulated power can be used to feed lighting system. In the affected area, the storage stations may be charged during the day to feed the lighting system during the night.
When used like power storages for the photovoltaic systems to feed lighting system on the airport runways, the supercap power storage modules can completely replace the electrochemical batteries.
They ensure more service stability and efficiency and allow to reduce the maintenance costs.
During unexpected blackout, the supercap power storage modules provide power to the data center ensuring the data saving operations.
Indeed, supercap modules exhibit extremely long shelf-life, do not suffer of any damage when left for long time at full charge (connected to a dc voltage source).
Moreover, their performances do not degrade over a huge number of charging/discharging cycles (~ one million).
When used as UPS systems, the supercap power storage modules provide energy to the data center during a blackout. They can replace the electrochemical batteries ensuring long life, more reliability and fewer maintenance.
