  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING A CAPACITANCE OF A CAPACITOR, CAPACITOR MONITORING DEVICE AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250004029
    Abstract: A method for determining a capacitance of a capacitor includes measuring an electrical current supplied from or to the capacitor over time, integrating the electrical current to determine a charge amount supplied from or to the capacitor over time, determining a state of charge, SoC, of the capacitor over time, determining a total charge capacity of the capacitor based on a linear relationship between changes in the charge amount and changes in the SoC, and determining the capacitance based on the calculated total charge capacity.

  • POWER SUPPLY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20120286591
    Abstract: A power supply device has a power source providing a voltage and a monitoring device electrically connected to the power source. The monitoring device measures the voltage, the current, and the temperature of the power source when power is drawn from the power source, and interrupts the power draw if the voltage drops below a cutoff threshold. The cutoff threshold depends on the temperature at the power source and the current.
