How Capacitech Uses Supercapacitors to Fill the Gap in Energy Storage
Capacitech Energy, Inc. is a rapid response energy storage leader based in Orlando, FL, USA. We build high-power and space-conscious energy storage systems for an increasingly complex grid. Our products enhance renewable energy sources, long duration energy storage assets, and overall power quality while overcoming typical integration and physical footprint challenges. With innovations in form factor, power electronics, and energy management technologies, Capacitech is a trusted partner for dynamic and space constrained power applications of varied shape, size and scale.
Our Product
We specialize in delivering practical solutions for power delivery challenges facing microgrids, solar farms, the distribution grid, and more. Our flagship product, the PowerLink, is reshaping how energy is stored to enhance medium and large energy harvesting and energy storage applications.
We serve government, utilities, and corporations who are seeking to achieve environmental targets, quickly deploy additional capacity to the grid, and/or gain power independence from the grid. The PowerLink solves battery degradation, poor yield, and low efficiency problems stemming from transient power fluctuations that are common due to rapidly increasing demand, intermittent renewable energy sources, and slow response times from longer duration storage assets.
The PowerLink does not require custom engineering. Its modularity and conformal shape make integration and installation very easy for customers compared to alternatives. Its wide adaptability serves hundreds of potential installation variations. Plus, its conformal form factor enables alternative installation options to save space and optimize footprint requirements.
Applications
The PowerLink is intended to complement batteries, handle inrush currents, black start, ramp-up, solar smoothing, frequency response, and demand response, among others. Utilizing the PowerLink in these scenarios reduces the stress on traditional energy storage assets, such as batteries, and will reduce degradation and improve efficiency as a result. Applications the PowerLink will thrive in are datacenters, utility grids and microgrids, and locations with critical infrastructure such as shipping ports and hospitals, to name a few.
With the growth of renewable energy sources, electric vehicle fleet charging, and bitcoin mining, new solutions are required to support the exponential growth of the electrical grid. Capacitech is dedicated to offering sustainable solutions to support long duration energy storage assets, renewables, and overall power reliability.
