Power control device with electric double layer capacitor unit cells
First Claim
1. A power control device comprising:
- an electric power storage device provided across a power supply line for a load and including at least one electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) bank and a secondary battery combined with the EDLC bank, said EDLC bank including a plurality of parallel-connected rows of EDLC unit cells, each of the rows including a plurality of series-connected EDLC unit cells; and
a control device controlling the electric power storage device so that when an input power to the electric power storage device is interrupted so as to result in a power interrupt, the EDLC bank supplies electric power to the load for an initial period of the power interrupt, and thereafter the secondary battery supplies electric power to the load.

2. A power control device comprising:
-
an electric power storage device provided across a power supply line for a load and including at least one electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) bank and an aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor combined with the EDLC bank, said EDLC bank including a plurality of parallel-connected rows of EDLC unit cells, each of the rows including a plurality of series-connected EDLC unit cells; and
a control device controlling the electric power storage device so that when an input power to the electric power storage device is interrupted so as to result in a power interrupt, the aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor supplies electric power to the load for an initial period of the power interrupt, and thereafter the EDLC bank supplies electric power to the load. - View Dependent Claims (5, 8, 11, 15, 18)
an AC/DC converter for receiving AC power from the power supply line and for outputting DC power; and
a DC/AC inverter for receiving the DC power output from the AC/DC converter and for outputting AC power to the load, wherein the aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor includes means for absorbing a ripple current produced by switching elements of the AC/DC converter and the DC/AC inverter.

3. A power control device comprising:
-
an electric power storage device provided across a power supply line for a load and including at least one electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) bank, a secondary battery combined with the EDLC bank and an aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor combined with the EDLC bank, said EDLC bank including a plurality of parallel-connected rows of EDLC unit cells, each of the rows including a plurality of series-connected EDLC unit cells; and
a control device controlling the electric power storage device so that when an input power to the electric power storage device is interrupted so as to result in a power interrupt, the aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor supplies electric power to the load for a first initial period of the power interrupt and the EDLC bank supplies electric power to the load for a second initial short period of the power interrupt that occurs immediately after the first initial short period of time, and thereafter the secondary battery supplies electric power to the load. - View Dependent Claims (6, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19)
a current setting resistor connected in series to the EDLC bank, wherein the control device outputs a command to the current setting resistor to change a resistance value thereof, so as to control a charge and discharge state of the EDLC bank.
