Description
Maxwell ultracapacitor energy storage system paired to
Soitec's concentrated photovoltaic system located on the
campus of University of California, San Diego. The energy
storage system will demonstrate the technical and economic
benefit of PV power output smoothing. The system will also
take advantage of other technology advances, including
solar forecasting and predictive energy control to maximize
the benefit of incorporating ultracapacitor energy storage.
