Body Integrated Supercapacitor for Next Generation of Electric Vehicles用於下一代電動汽車的車身集成超級電容

Fast charge, space-saving and safe energy storage solution for automobiles快速充電、節省空間和安全的汽車能量儲存技術

汽車業界一直努力改進電動汽車和油電混能車的能量儲存模式和

效能。超級電容是一種新興的能量儲存裝置，可以配合或取代電

池，提升車輛的表現。理大在車用超級電容技術上有所突破，研

發了特別的超級電容包裝技術和新式的內置電力電子科技，設計

出新的超級電容模組結構，成功製造曲面的模組，令汽車生產商

可以把超級電容製成車身面板，安裝在車身各部分，如車頂、車

門和尾箱蓋，盡用空間去儲存能量，提高超級電容電動車的性能

和實用性。

此外，研究團隊也開發了新的能量調節技術，大大縮小能量調節

電路的體積，減低能量損失。團隊亦研發了一系列相關技術，包

括充電和放電控制及連接其他能量系統的技術，令車身集成超級

電容可應用在不同的電動車上。

The energy storage has long been the most critical challenge for

electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles. There is a new trend

of using supercapacitors to complement or even replace batteries

as energy storage devices to improve the vehicles’ performance.

PolyU’s Body Integrated Supercapacitor enables manufacturers to

make use of space in car body to maximize energy storage. Special

packaging and built-in power electronics technologies have been

developed to produce supercapacitor modules with new structure.

As curved supercapacitor modules can be produced using the new

technologies, supercapacitors can be integrated into car body

panels, such as the roof, doors and the trunk lid.

In addition, new energy storage balancing technologies have

been invented, which can reduce energy loss and the size of

energy balancing circuit in the systems of energy storage devices.

A series of related technologies were also developed, such as

charging and discharging control, as well as connections with

other energy storage system. Due to such developments, the Body

Integrated Supercapacitor is compatible with and applicable in

various electric vehicles.
