Week 8 Challenge

Aim:

To Load the UC parameter file. Complete the Ultracapacitor model. Set simulation stop time to 598 sec.

The model output should give, current, SOC and Voltage as output

Ultracapacitor:

Like a battery, a single ultracapacitor cell consists of a positive and negative electrode, separated by an electrolyte. However, ultracapacitors store energy electrostatically, like a regular capacitor, not chemically like a battery - there is a dielectric separator dividing the electrolyte, also like a capacitor.

The small separation between electrodes permitted by this structure lead to much higher energy storage density than a normal capacitor. Whilst an ultracapacitor stores less energy than an equivalently sized battery, it can release it much quicker, as the discharge is not dependent on a chemical reaction taking place.

Steps to Build the Ultracapacitor model:

Ultra Capacitor Model:

Inside the Ultra Capacitor Model:

Inside the subsystem of Stop Simulation

Current and OCV :

VOLTAGE:

Voltage:

CURRENT:

SOC_UC:

OCV:

The constant values are specified in workspace and the result is obtained.

Result:

Thus the Load the UC parameter file. Complete the Ultracapacitor model with set simulation stop time to 598 sec.

The model output should give, current, SOC and Voltage as output is obtained.
