UCR series Ultracapacitor (UC)
Benefits and motivation of bus
electrification
- Less carbon emission
- Energy saving (regenerative braking)
- More reliable (operational reliability& warrant)
- Low average expense each lifecycle
- Having Government policy support
Application example: UC electric bus
Why ultracapacitor
- Long operation lifetime - UC cell has 50000 - 100000 cycles of operation lifetime
- No limitation for the daily mileage - UC is charged at the end bus stop during the bus drivers’ break
- Better heat management - UC cell has lower chance of overcharge and over discharge
- Safer - UC does not burn/explode even if the faults happen
- Clean - UC contains no harmful or toxic substances
- Lighter battery - Almost 1/3 weight as normal battery
- No need to balance UC overnight - this can be accomplished by a separate Blockheater
Market advantage
Comparing traditional EDLC with ultracapacitor
Application Example
Bus in Sofia 2014
- Operated and maintained by the StolichenElektrotransport; 20 kWh UC –1st Generation;
- Line № 11 (trolleybus line) -> flat profile, length of 11.2 km, crossing;
- DC/DC charging stations at terminals only, using trolleybus power supply;
- Average energy consumption, recorded by BELICON: 0.95 kWh/km (no auxiliary consummators);
- 1.60 kWh/km with 100% occupancy and A/C on;
- Recuperation rate: 32.2 %, highest 39%;
- Operating temperature range: -15℃ to 40℃;
- Siemenselectric motors, 2x67 kW;

Extreme cold condition
R&D for low temperature
solutions
- Solution for extreme cold working condition（UC system,communication, pantograph), pilot project in Urumqi and Minsk Belarus；
- On 16th,Feb,2017, first 18m UC bus developed by BKM in Belarus off production line,first project achievement of China-Belarus Industrial Park.
High Energy UC powered Tram and Electric Bus
System
Comparing traditional EDLC with ultracapacitor
In 2013,Aowei entered into TRAM
market-becoming a qualified supplier for tram applications.
2013-2016,Aowei has provided 7 ESU
solutions covering full line catenary-free,partial catenary-free,and cross-section
catenary-free platforms,and won tender for Wuhan Guanggu Line, South Yun’nan Honghe
Line, Chengdu IT Avenue Line and Chengdu Xinjin Line.
The UC powered tram samples are tested by
ALSTOM from June, 2014. And test is passed in September, 2016.
First meeting with CAF in Dec 2016, first
technical visit to CAF in March 2017,test result review in Busworld Kortrijk OCT 2017.
Aowei E-buses are very well accepted by
the operator, the passengers and the city government in Israel, which has good
robustness in wide temperature range, especially in warm weather conditions for the
middle east region.
Aowei E-bus was successfully operated in
Graz project, Austria, which starts from mid April, 2017. Average charging time for
covering the line is 3-5 minutes. And two 340kW charging stations are installed.
Aowei UC buses are operated in the
Belgrade, Sebia, where around 1000 passengers per E-bus per one day are transported, and
there are operational schedule 16-18 hours per day. The power consumption is about 1.1
kWh/km in spring/autumn and about 1.4 kWh/km in summer and winter.
Aowei E bus was operated by the bus &
trolleybus operator ATC in La Spezia, Italy, which starts from March, 2018. The length
of bus line is 17km and one fast charging station with power rating 340kW is installed.
Aowei UC bus was successfully operated in
Minsk, Belarus, which has good robustness and adaptability for extreme cold working
condition. The pilot project in Belarus shows the unique advantage of Aowei UC bus
compared with existing solutions.
In Aalborg pilot project, Aowei UC bus is
operated by famous operators - Keolis and Arriva. The length of the route is about 14
km. The average consumption is 1.08 kwh/km.
It is full line catenary-free in Wuhan
E.Lake line, and the power is supplied by Aowei UC with 3 minutes charging time.
The Xinjin Line is operated in 2015. The
5.3 kWh UC is charged for 3 minutes at 100kW when it is connected to the power lines.
And 10.6 kWh UC is charged for 3 minutes at 200kW.
