Opportunities – Emphasizing on Electric Vehicle Charging Stations , Increasing Sales of Hybrid Electric Vehicle and Emphasizing On Electrification of the Commercial Vehicles

The transducer shown after the inverter in Figure 1 is a key element of the control loop which drives the inverter switches, and so governs the accuracy of the current output waveform. It must have a fast response time, low noise and good linearity, and in particular the offset and its drift with temperature must be low so that the DC component of the current injected into the grid meets regulatory requirements.

Dunn also has a second motive. He considers himself an environmentalist and wants to reduce his “carbon footprint” — the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, emitted due to the burning of fossil fuels.

A Black & Veatch-designed microgrid at Shell’s Technology Center in Houston, Texas, is actively powering part of the campus while serving as a critical research tool for Shell International Exploration & Production Company’s work to explore the next generation of clean power and distributed energy technologies.

The report includes an in-depth analysis of the industrial value chain, which provides a detailed view of the Battery Charger IC Market. The Porter’s Five Forces model for the market has also been studied, in order to help understand the competitive scenario in the market. The study includes market attractiveness analysis, wherein the end-users are standardized, on the basis of the market size, overall attractiveness, and growth rate.

The maximum allowable gate-source voltage for an eGaN FET of 6V is low compared with traditional silicon. The gate voltage is also low compared to most power MOSFETs, but doesn’t suffer from as strong a negative temperature coefficient. And, the body-diode forward drop can be a volt higher than comparable silicon MOSFETs.

Freedom Won, an energy storage system manufacturer, has approved the use of its Freedom Lite HV battery with the Ingeteam INGECON SUN STORAGE 1Play hybrid inverter.

The first delivered Volvo FL Electric are a refuse truck to waste and recycling company Renova, and a distribution truck to the logistics company DB Schenker and partner haulier TGM, operating in Sweden.

Picture the scene: you’re about to embark on a long journey but just before you board your bus, train or plane, you realise your smartphone or tablet is low on battery. You find a public USB port nearby and plug in your device, hoping to get enough juice to see you through your trip. It seems like a pretty straightforward thing to do but public USB ports aren’t always safe and security experts warn that they could put your phone at risk.

GaN and SiC semiconductor materials allow for smaller, faster, more reliable devices with higher efficiency than their silicon-based cousins. These capabilities make it possible to reduce weight, volume, and lifecycle costs in a wide range of power applications. Figure 1 compares the breakdown voltage and on-resistance of Si, SiC, and GaN devices.
