The paper introduces a simplified model, named "two branches mode", to characterize the electrical behaviour of the DLCs (Double Layer Capacitors). The new model is very similar to many others in literature from the circuital point of view, however the process of identification of its parameters is easier and faster. This new identification process can be followed in other some model proposed in literature. Experimental charge tests have been executed on supercapacitors of two different labels (Epcos and Maxwell) and size (between 100F to 600F). The experimental results and the performed simulations have been reported in order to verify the validity of the new identification proposed method
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
