This thesis deals with a stand-alone super capacitor charging system. The stand-alone system contains a self starting /self powering circuitry which allows the system power to be turned off while not in use. This proposed system does not use batteries or have a connection to a main power utility; it constitutes a true stand-alone, low maintenance and pollution free system. Additionally, it proposes a feed forward charging scheme to eliminate the needs of using voltage feedback, current feedback, or both, and hence reduces electronic complexity and cost of the charger. A detailed analysis of the feed forward charger, and the self-starting/self power circuitry was carried out to obtain the relationship between the system parameters and the outputs of the system. This thesis also presents simulation results and experimental data to reveal performance of the charger and the self-starting /self powering circuitry.
