ragone diagram

The Ragone diagram is a special diagram for power comparisons.

Energy and power density of accumulators and capacitors shown in the Ragone diagram.

Energy and power density of accumulators and capacitors shown in the Ragone diagram.

It is mainly used in power engineering and energy storage to compare the performance of batteries, accumulators and power capacitors.

The Ragone diagram uses the Cartesian coordinate system with logarithmic axes for energy density in the vertical and power density in the horizontal. Dividing both values gives the discharge times, which are plotted diagonally as lines of equal discharge times, on the Ragone diagram.
