High constant current sink!

Right now I have a problem in finding a available power source for charge and discharge of EDLC.
It required to be charge and discharge at a constant current of 30A, and the voltage is about 10 V or so.

Do you think these can work or the current is far too high>
If so, what can I do? I am not familiar with this

Here is a constant-current circuit that boosts the current of the op amp, limited only by the size of the N-MOSFET and its heat sink. The constant current equals the voltage applied to the DAC0 Out pin divided by R1.

If you use a single-supply type op amp, such as an LM358, you only need a positive supply voltage. You also don't need the two 5M resistors.
