本論文旨在研究設計一套可進行偵測超電容老化預警訊號之充放電平台，此乃由於超電容具備高功率密度優點，且近年來並已逐漸成為電氣交通運輸工具儲能系統或推進系統之主要元件，致使超電容運轉狀態與車載可靠度之關連性大幅增加。惟由既有之超電容使用實績，似無法掌握超電容之老化程度，因此增加超電容檢修困難度。故本研究即提出以一般維修場所之既有設備，擴充架設超電容放電測試平台，並由測試台所記錄之充電與放電數據，推估超電容目前老化狀態，測試結果顯示本文所提方法有助於超電容老化預警偵測，研究成果並可作為儲能工業進行維運保養參考之需。

This thesis is devoted to designing an aging forewarning mechanism of supercapacitors charging and discharging test bench. The study is motivated because the merits of high power density of supercapacitors have attracted the widespread use in the energy-storage system of electrification and traction systems. Relations between supercapacitor operation and transportation reliability is meanwhile significantly increased. Yet, based on the existing operating experiences, it is still short of exactly grasping the aging level of supercapacitors, hence increasing the difficulty of maintenance work. Therefore, this study proposes an approach of estimating the aging status of supercapacitors based on the extension of existent equipment utilized in the workshop along with the data acquired from charging and discharging test bench. Experimental outcome validates the proposed method for the forewarning of aging supercapacitors. These test results can be also served as references for maintenance and operation of energy-storage industries.
