“…Energy storage seems to be the biggest challenge in the advancement towards renewable energy solutions. Hybridization of energy storage has been the theme of many research studies in the field of power electronics and energy management [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], as it is considered to have great promise as an effective economic solution towards improving the performance of energy systems. Double layer capacitors (DLCs) have been proved to be very useful in hybridization of energy storages; this is due to their higher power density characteristics as compared to batteries [10][11][12]24].…”

There has been increasing interests in the use of double layer capacitors (DLCs)—most commonly referred to as supercapacitors (SCs), ultra-capacitors (UCs), or hybrid capacitors (HCs)—in the field of power electronics. This increased interest in the hybridization of energy storages for automotive applications over the past few years is because of their advantage of high power density over traditional battery technologies. To facilitate accurate design and simulation of these systems, there is a need to make use of accurate and well validated models. Several models have been postulated in literature, however, these models have various limitations and strengths, ranging from the ease of use down to the complexity of characterization and parameter identification. The aim of this paper is to review and compare these models, specifically focusing on the models that predict the electrical characteristics of DLCs. The uniqueness of this review is that it focusses on the electrical circuit models of DLCs, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the different available models and the various areas for improvement.
