Munshi and Ayad Ibrahim Lithium Power Technolgies, Inc. 20955 Morris Avenue Manvel, TX 77578-3819 Tel.: 281-489-4889 Fax: 281-489-6644 [email protected] Abstract A new dielectric film has been developed that greatly increases the energy density capability of plastic film capacitors. This film has been developed over the past four years by a consortium consisting of Lithium Power Technologies, CDE Corp., Dupont Teijin Films (DTF), Case Western Reserve University, and Ohio Aerospace Institute in an Advanced Technology Program funded by the Department of Commerce. We are now entering the commercialization stage of this project. Plastic film capacitors have been the capacitor of choice for many power electronics, power conditioning, and pulse power applications such as motors, lighting and portable defibrillators because of their low dissipation factor (DF), excellent high-frequency response, high insulation resistance (IR), self-healing ability, and high-voltage capabilities. Existing capacitor technologies now present a barrier to achieving significant packaging (size and weight) reductions and struggle to meet new market-driven performance requirements. These markets not only include hybrid electric vehicles, wind power and portable defibrillators, but also the military and aerospace markets where the power source must be incredibly lightweight. Ultra thin gauge biaxially oriented films produced by DTF in thicknesses of 1.4 to 4 microns and thicker were constructed into metallized capacitors ranging from 1 to 140 microFarads.

The utilized capacitor electrodes are thus better to have large surface areas, high conductivity, high stability, and importantly be of binder free. Herein, vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (CNFs) coated boron-doped diamonds (BDD) are employed as the capacitor electrodes to construct battery-like supercapacitors. Grown via a thermal chemical vapor deposition technique, these CNFs/BDD hybrid films are binder free and own porous structures, resulting in large surface areas. Meanwhile, the containment of graphene layers and copper metal catalysts inside CNFs/BDD leads to their high conductivity. Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) and pseudocapacitors (PCs) are then constructed in the inert electrolyte (1.0 M H2SO4 solution) and in the redox-active electrolyte (1.0 M Na2SO4 + 0.05 M 3-/4- Fe(CN)6 ), respectively For assembled two-electrode symmetrical supercapacitor devices, the capacitances of EDLC and PC devices reach 30 and 48 mF cm-2 at 10 mV s-1, respectively.

  • Metallized Film Capacitor Lifetime Evaluation and Failure Mode Analysis
    Metallized Film Capacitor Lifetime Evaluation and Failure Mode Analysis R. Gallay Garmanage, Farvagny-le-Petit, Switzerland Abstract One of the main concerns for power electronic engineers regarding capacitors is to predict their remaining lifetime in order to anticipate costly failures or system unavailability. This may be achieved using a Weibull statistical law combined with acceleration factors for the temperature, the voltage, and the humidity. This paper discusses the different capacitor failure modes and their effects and consequences. Keywords Metallized film capacitor; failure mode; lifetime. 1 Capacitor technologies The following different power capacitor technologies are used in inverters: – Electrolytic capacitors characterized by very big capacitance per volume unit, but with low rated voltages and very important power losses due to the ionic conductivity. In particular, the bigger the capacitance density, the lower the rated voltage. – Film foil capacitors made of dielectric films between two plain aluminium foils. These capacitors can sustain very high currents. – Metallized film capacitors, which are made with dielectric films with a metallic coating on the surface. With this technology the electric-field stress may be much bigger than with film capacitors thanks to the metallization self-healing capability. Today the dielectric films that are used are mainly polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Formerly, paper (PA) was used in film foil technology—either pure paper or mixed with polypropylene (DM). In special applications, where high temperatures are required, polyethylene naphthalene (PEN) up to 125°C or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) up to 150°C are used. PET presents the following advantages over PP: a dielectric constant 50% bigger (ε = 3.3 versus 2.2), which means 50% more capacitance in the same volume, a better mechanical resistance (which means a higher endurance to self-healing), and the possibility of manipulating thinner films, consequently leading to a smaller capacitance and a higher exploitation temperature (+10°C).
