Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) which have been developed for terrestrial applications are energy storage devices without electrochemical reaction. EDLCs are interesting energy storage candidate in space applications, for example, Space Solar Power Systems (SSPS), where long-life electrical power sub-system is required. In this study, cycle life performance of EDLCs under different satellite operating conditions was tested. In order to realize performance of EDLC modules, circuits that equalize voltages of individual cells in modules are necessary. Equalization circuits were designed with a simple configuration utilizing only electric switches. The effectiveness of the equalization circuit for EDLC modules was successfully demonstrated.
