In other news, the EU agreed on a 32% renewable target by 2030, after all-night negotiations. The new is binding and, according to the EU Commission’s statement, may be subject to upwards revision by 2023.

Available with a choice of current ratings (6A, 8A, 10A, 16A or 20A), they offer power electronics system designers a variety of performance advantages, including negligible reverse recovery current, high surge capability and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C, so they are suitable for applications that require enhanced efficiency, reliability and thermal management.

With the growth of internet-connected solar power systems across the U.S. comes a greater risk of cybersecurity attacks on the electric grid, a report published Nov. 1 claimed.

Sometimes even customers come up with innovative applications of the power analyzers which we are not aware of. So I can say there are number of applications. But the applications on which our focus lies are divided into few categories:

The Global Solar Hybrid Inverter Market is projected to grow strongly throughout the forecast period 2018 to 2025. In addition to this, several of the distinguished trends that the market is showing include regulatory restrictions, the rising applications of Solar Hybrid Inverter in several end-user segments, recent technological developments of the industry along with growth investment opportunities.

The agreement with Tenaska further diversifies Capital Dynamics’ growing solar portfolio. The company’s Clean Energy Infrastructure team is the second-largest owner of solar projects in the United States and manages approximately $4.9 billion in assets and 3.1 GW capacity in its current portfolio.

“The Volvo FL Electric trucks are part of a pre-series developed in collaboration with selected customers. Series production of the Volvo FL Electric and its powerful sibling, the Volvo FE Electric, will commence with a limited number of trucks for the European markets in the second half of 2019.

The commercial and industrial BTM market is the only sector where DC coupling is not on the rise. This sector continues to default to AC-coupled systems and will continue to do so in the near term, according to Wood Mackenzie. While the ease of installation and lower balance-of-systems requirement makes DC-coupled architecture popular for the residential solar-plus-storage market, current issues with multi-port hybrid inverters, such as the single point of failure, fixed input voltages and loss of flexibility, make it less attractive for the BTM non-residential market.

This adjustment could extend the life of Li-ion batteries as much as five times, the group recently reported in Nature Communications. It’s possible because of the two-dimensional MXene material’s ability to prevent the silicon anode from expanding to its breaking point during charging — a problem that’s prevented its use for some time.

Toyota says the scalability of hydrogen fuel cell technology also has led to two applications for California feasibility studies in another area of interest to Tesla: semi-trailer trucks.

Gallium oxide (GaO) is another semiconductor material with a wide bandgap. GaO has poor thermal conductivity, but its bandgap (about 4.8 eV) exceeds that of SiC, GaN, and Si. However, GaO will need more R&D before becoming a major power-system participant.
