Supercapacitors offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional battery-based UPS systems. Our high power density energy storage devices deliver autonomy in the range of seconds, so are ideal for sites prone to very short interruptions.
High Number Of Cycles
A supercapacitor can have a million or more cycles, compared to around 300 for a typical lead-acid battery set. Offers long-term TCO savings on battery monitoring, replacement, recycling, and disposal.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Supercapacitors can perform in both extremely hot and cold ambient temperatures (-30oC to +45oC) without the need for energy-intensive air conditioning or heating.
Eco-friendly, battery-free alternative to standard UPS systems
Suitable for facilities prone to very short power interruptions
Wide operating temperature (-30 °C to +45 °C) eliminates heating or cooling
Long-term savings on battery monitoring, replacement, and recycling
Reduced footprint and weight than traditional UPS systems
SuperCaps are Riello UPS’s alternative to the standard battery-based standby power.
Supercapacitors have up to 100 times the power density of traditional valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, meaning they can release energy far quicker.
This makes supercapacitors an ideal solution for environments prone to short-term power interruptions, as their autonomy typically spans from 1 second to 1 minute. They provide ample backup, for instance, for a standby generator to start-up.
Riello UPS’s SuperCaps solutions feature a sophisticated control system that manages and optimises the charge/discharge cycles. A supercapacitor can have a million or more cycles, compared to around 300 for a typical lead-acid battery set.
Supercapacitors can perform in both extremely hot and cold ambient temperatures (-30oC to +45oC) without the need for energy-intensive air conditioning or heating.
SuperCaps remain an emerging technology, so the upfront cost is high. However, with their long lifespans and high number of cycles, they offer longer-term savings when taking into account battery maintenance, monitoring, replacement, and removal costs.
Supercapacitors can take the place of batteries in various Riello UPS product ranges, including:
