Power grid stabilization in vehicles with various propulsion strategies

Whether as 12 V or 48 V variants, our super­capacitor modules serve as reliable power storages. They are used within vehicles of all drive­train types to stabilize the energy supply. Especially in battery electric vehicles, modern power grids demand for high energy flows and increasing safety require­ments due to their complexity. As inte­grated solutions, Eberspächer super­capacitor modules, short SCAP- or UCAP modules, guarantee the supply of the vehicle power grid as well as critical electrical consumers in case of an emergency. These include, for example, electronic braking and steering systems (X-by-Wire). As buffer storage units, they also stabilize the power grid to compensate current peaks. Our 48 V super­capacitor storage is used as standard by leading manu­facturers: to store braking energy in electric and hybrid vehicles or as power supply for roll stabilizers. The reliable 12 V power storages of Eberspächer are used as a redundant energy source. In autonomous driving, for example, they ensure the secure operation of the vehicle power grid.

The expertise of Eberspächer Automotive Electronics can be seen in particular in the area of system and software inte­gration as well as the development of diagnosis functions for SCAP modules. These include state- of- charge (SOC), state- of- health (SOH), and state-of-function (SOF).

Our efficient manufacturing techniques and methods are valued by our clients around the world. To cast the modules, we employ a patented method to provide a seal and dissipate heat. Agile project methods, team spirit, a young, dynamic and familial working environment as well as quick decision processes characterize our targeted approach to our work. This sets us apart as a reliable partner for our international clients. We develop and produce solutions for a wide range of vehicle types, different drive types, and voltage levels – from low-cost to high-end products.
