Abstract :
Advancement of double layer capacitor technology has made commercially available capacitors with capacitance values exceeding 470 Farads. This paper presents test results on double layer capacitors operating from DC to 50 kHz. Equivalent series resistance variation with frequency, duty cycle, polarity, load current, and charging voltage are examined, along with DC capacitance measurements and implementation in practical power electronic circuits
