고비표면적의 활성탄소섬유(ACF: activated carbon fiber)를 분극성 전극으로 이용한 전기이중층 캐패시터(electric double layer capacitor)의 단위 cell test를 통하여, ACF의 비표면적, 세공의 크기 및 전기전도도가 캐패시터의 비축전용량에 커다란 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었고, 전해질은 $H^+$ 이온을 함유한 $H_2SO_4$이 가장 좋은 축전용량을 나타내었으나, 집전체 부식 등의 문제로 인하여, 실용화에 있어서는 우수한 충방전 거동을 나타낸 KOH계 전해질이 적당한 것으로 확인되었다. 분극성 전극으로 사용되는 ACF를 탄화 또는 후활성화 등이 후처리를 통하여 비축전용량을 급격히 증가시킬수 있었고, 3만회까지의 연속 충방전 실험에서 전기이중층 캐패시터는 2차전지에서는 찾아 볼 수 없는 매우 높은 충방전 효율과 긴 사용수명을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

We fabricated five type of electric double layer capacitor(EDLC) with extremely stable activated carbon as a positive and negative electrodes. The electrodes consisted of activated carbon and several different conductor layers on aluminium foil. Cyclic voltammogram of activated carbon electrodes at scan rate 5mV/sec was reversable redox reaction. The discharge capacity of activated carbon-KS 6 composite electrode was higher than that of activated carbon electrode without KS 6.

Since a microgrid has renewable energy sources, imbalance between power supply and power demand occurs in the islanded mode. In order to solve the imbalance, several energy storage systems (ESSs) such as bettary energy storage system (BESS), EDLC (electric double layer capacitor), flywheel, and SMES (superconducting magnetic energy storage) are generally used. Especially, their electrical characteristics are different. For efficient use of them, a coordinated control scheme is required. In this paper, a coordinated control scheme for using a Lead-acid BESS, a Lithium BESS, and a EDLC is designed to efficient frequency control for a microgrid in the islanded mode. The coordinated frequency control strategy is designed based on their electrical characteristics. The feasibility of the proposed coordinated frequency control strategy is verified through the simulation.

We describe a redox-enhanced electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) that turns the electrolyte in a conventional EDLC into an integral, active component for charge storage-charge is stored both through faradaic reactions with soluble redox-active molecules in the electrolyte, and through the double-layer capacitance in a porous carbon electrode. The mixed-redox electrolyte, composed of vanadium and iodides, was employed to achieve high power density. The electrochemical reaction in a supercapacitor with vanadium and iodide was studied to estimate the charge capacity and energy density of the redox supercapacitor. A redox supercapacitor with a mixed electrolyte composed of 0.75 M NaI and 0.5 M $VOSO_4$ was fabricated and studied. When charged to a potential of 1 V, faradaic charging processes were observed, in addition to the capacitive processes that increased the energy storage capabilities of the supercapacitor. The redox supercapacitor achieved a specific capacity of 13.44 mAh/g and an energy density of 3.81 Wh/kg in a simple Swagelok cell. A control EDLC with 1 M $H_2SO_4$ yielded 7.43 mAh/g and 2.85 Wh/kg. However, the relatively fast self-discharge in the redox-EDLC may be due to the shuttling of the redox couple between the polarized carbon electrodes.

A new type of capacitor named "Super Capacitor" has been developed, in which the properties of electric double layer formed at the interface of activated carbon electrode- liquid organic electrolyte is applied. This capacitor is small In size, light in weight, wide In temperature range(-25~$70^{\circ}C$), large in charge-discharge capability and good in voltage preservation. And this super capacitor is applied as a power back-up for electricity failure in volatile memory devices etc., a power source for a short time and a power source for operating actuators. At present the development of high power back-up types of the capacitor system and improvement of their characteristics are being actively conducted in order to find wider applications.lications.

For the first time, a totally solid state electric double layer capacitor has been fabricated using an alkaline polymer electrolyte and an activated carbon powder as electrode material. The polymer electrolyte serves both as separator as well as electrode binder. The capacitor has a three-layer structure; electrode-electrolyte-electrode. A cyclic voltammetry and constant current discharge have been used for the determination of the electro chemical performance of capacitors.

Activated carbons (ACs) were prepared by activation of coal tar pitch (CTP) in the range of $700^{\circ}C-1000^{\circ}C$ for 1-4 h using potassium hydroxide (KOH) powder as the activation agent. The optimal activation conditions were determined to be a CTP/KOH ratio of 1:4, activation temperature of $900^{\circ}C$, and activation time of 3 h. The obtained ACs showed increased pore size distribution in the range of 1 to 2 nm and the highest specific capacitance of 122 F/g in a two-electrode system with an organic electrolyte, as measured by a charge-discharge method in the voltage range of 0-2.7 V. In order to improve the performance of the electric double-layer capacitor electrode, various mixtures of CTP and petroleum pitch (PP) were activated at the optimal activation conditions previously determined for CTP. Although the specific capacitance of AC electrodes prepared from CTP only and the mixtures of CTP and PP was not significantly different at a current density of 1 A/g, the AC electrodes from CTP and PP mixtures showed outstanding specific capacitance at higher current rates. In particular, CTP-PP61 (6:1 mixture) had the highest specific capacitance of 132 F/g, and the specific capacitance remained above 90% at a high current density of 3 A/g. It was found that the high specific capacitance could be attributed to the increased micro-pore volume of ACs with pore sizes from 1 to 2 nm, and the high power density could be attributed to the increased meso-pore volume.

최근들어, 전기이중층 커패시터 등의 친환경 전력저장장치의 수요가 증가하면서, 이를 위한 양방향 충/방전기의 수요 또한 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 상용화된 아날로그 제어기를 사용하는 DC-DC 컨버터를 충 방전기로 사용하게 되면, 충/방전 레퍼런스를 제공하는 상위 디지털 제어기와 별도로 아날로그 제어기를 제작해야 하는 문제가 있고, 회로가 복잡해지며, 모드전환 시 과도응답이 좋지 않다. 이에 대한 대안으로 단일 디지털 제어기를 사용하게 되면 쉽게 구현 가능한 설계방식을 이용하여 양방향 시스템의 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 단일 회로 단 양방향 벅-부스트 컨버터에 전기이중층 콘덴서를 이용한 친환경 전력저장장치의 양방향 충/방전 시스템을 구현하고, DSP(TI사 TMS320F28335)를 이용한 디지털 제어기를 적용하였다. MATLAB simulink를 이용하여 모의실험을 수행하였고, 하드웨어를 구성하여 실험한 결과, 모의실험과 마찬가지로 양방향 시스템의 응답특성이 개선되었음을 보여주었다.
