The project ‘Metrology for Static and Dynamic Characterization of Supercapacitors’ – MetSuperCap

Supercapacitors (SCs) represent an environmentally friendly technology, that can replace batteries or work with them in high power density applications. To support the increasing use of SCs, accurate characterization is required under operating conditions. In addition, validated circuital and software models are needed to identify the SCs behavior in dynamic applications. Along with slower but highly accurate methods, novel quick, traceable, and effective measurement techniques are required to evaluate SCs State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) and to promote the uptake of SCs in consumer electronics, energy, transport, aerospace and in many other applications. The MetSuperCap project aims to improve the characterization of SCs by providing an accurate identification of their parameters in the laboratory and under operational conditions.
