Deliverable 7.3 Electrical characterisation of LIC modules
Deliverable D7.3 reports the electrical characterization and functional validation of a preliminary 12 V module developed within The MUSIC Project using commercial lithium-ion capacitor cells as a technological analogue for future sodium-ion capacitor cells. The work validates the performance of the innovative Supercapacitor Management System (i-SMS), including sensing, passive balancing, protection mechanisms and thermal management, across different temperatures and current profiles. The results confirm safe module operation within defined limits, demonstrate improved voltage and thermal uniformity, and provide key design lessons for the future MUSIC sodium-ion capacitor module, particularly in relation to mechanical integration, heat dissipation and system-level safety.
