Introduction to the zigzag modeled ultracapacitor

“Energy stored is the energy produced”- this is a popular saying which emphasize the importance of efficient energy storage. Energy crises are very prominent nowadays. Hence, the energy storage devices have become a topic of intense research among the scientists and researchers all around the world. Ultracapacitor is the new name to the list of the energy storage devices that are available today. Ultracapacitors have the highest available capacitance values per unit volume and the greatest energy density of all capacitors. In research work, a new model of ultracapacitor i.e. “zigzag” type had been developed. In this paper, the comparative study of this type of model with two other common models i.e. stack and rolled type is done. All the experimental results have been presented in the paper to support the newly proposed model.
