从混合动力汽车到电力系统等领域,超级电容器作为储能器件被应用在储能单元中。为了研究超级电容器性能受温度影响的现象,提出了一种超级电容器的三维热模型,并首先用有限元分析法仿真了常温条件下超级电容器恒流充放电过程中的热行为,然后用热电阻实际测量超级电容器充放电过程中内部温度的变化情况,结果表明该模型在中小电流充放电条件下能准确地模拟超级电容器的发热情况,其仿真结果与实验结果较符合。从而可知,在常温下,用中小电流对超级电容器充放电,超级电容器温升≤15℃,其性能是可靠的。
Electrochemical capacitors are als0 called 'electric double layer capacitors'. The'supercapacitors' or 'ultracapaeitors' stores the energy in the electric field of the electrochemical double-layer. In order to study the supercapacitor performance influenced by the temperature, a supercapacitor 3D thermal model was proposed to study the supercapacitor thermal behavior under the normal temperature condition in constant current charge and discharge mode in the article. At first, the transient state and the stable state temperature fields were simulated with the finite element method, then the internal temperature of supercapacitor were measured with the thermal resistance during charging and discharging process under normal temperature. The results indicate this model can accurately simulate the supercapacitor thermal behavior under the small or moderate current charging and discharging condition. Thus, the supercapacitor charges and discharges with the small or moderate current under the normal temperature, the temperature rise of supercapacitor is not higher than 15℃, and its performance is reliable.
