Supercapacitor energy storage systems for lighting systems with combined power supply by Demyd Pekur, Yuriy Kolomzarov, Vitaliy Kostylyov, Viktor Sorokin, Vasyl Kornaga, Roman Korkishko, Yurii Nikolaenko

“…The paper offers design principles of the power supply systems for powerful LEDs with supercapacitor energy storage devices intended to make the use of energy from sources with variable generation more efficient. The systems with supercapacitor-based drives, which allow to ensure stable operation of the lighting system when the power supply from an alternative source is absent or reduced, provide high safety and reliability, and have a significantly longer service life than battery-based energy storage systems.…”
