Simple model of a supercapacitor

Diagram

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This is a simple model of a supercapacitor, comprising:

  • an ideal capacitance
  • a series resistance
  • a self-discharge conductor

Note

There is no limit included against too high charging and too low discharging or even charging in the opposite direction.
