Greetings,
I'm trying to develop an application where I have a generator (motor) as my main source, when activated, and as secondary source a battery (or supercapacitors). The system works this way:
- If my generator is "on" and I have a load, he's my supplier;
- If I don't have a load and my battery is not fully charged, the generator feeds the battery;
- If I have a load and by any chance the generator stops, my battery assumes the power (maybe just for a few minutes).
So, I'm trying to find the best components and circuit to create this. Maybe I'll be able to replace the battery for some supercapacitors.
I found some articles here, one of them DN450 - Supercapacitors Can Replace a Backup Battery for Power Ride-Through Applications, but the tension Vin I need is something up to 40V. The value changes, even if it's DC, on the input and the output, depending on specifications like speed of the motor or characteristics of my load.
Also found some components like LTC4412 (Rev. C), LTC3350 (Rev. D) and LTC3351 (Rev. B) but I don't know if I'm on the right path.
If someone need any other information, let me know.
I really need help and appreciate the answers and advices.
