SuperCaps module
SuperCaps UPS are a type of uninterruptible
power supply developed by Riello UPS,
which use super capacitors to accumulate
energy instead of conventional batteries.
Autonomy in the range of seconds (1 to
60 sec) . The innovative Riello SuperCaps
UPS are designed to provide complete
power supply protection for sensitive and
mission-critical loads, protecting them from
mains disturbances and providing sufficient
power to compensate for interruptions in
mains supply. SuperCaps UPS are a type of
uninterruptible power supply developed by
Riello UPS , which use super capacitors to
accumulate energy instead of conventional
batteries.
Traditionally UPS rely on batteries for
accumulating energy, but at least 87% of
power supply interruptions last for less than
a second(1). SuperCaps UPS provide greater
energy efficiency, lower costs and reduced
footprints – ideal for installations where
floor space is at a premium.
At the heart of the Riello SuperCaps UPS is a
sophisticated control system that manages
the charge-discharge cycle of the supercapacitors and optimises their lifecycle,
which may exceed a million cycles.

Their back-up time is dependent on the load
but is sufficient to supply it until the mains
power is restored or until reserve power
from a generator starts automatically.
Most UPS are installed as standard with
batteries lasting 5-10 minutes to protect
the load against generator start up failure.
For modern data centres, electro-medical
and industrial applications, an efficient
generator set supported by a UPS with a
relatively brief autonomy offers the most
efficient and effective power continuity
solution, with conventional batteries
providing sufficient runtime to cover most
power interruptions.
However, SuperCaps UPS do not have
batteries and therefore provide long term
savings in terms of battery installation,
monitoring, maintenance, replacement
and recycling costs. In addition, when
compared to the 5-7 year lifecycle of
standard batteries, SuperCaps UPS have
a theoretically infinite lifecycle. These
cost savings, along with the reduced
footprint make SuperCaps UPS the ideal
solution for critical installations that are
particularly sensitive to short power supply
interruptions.
