The new energy storage solution will provide grid stability and reliability, as well as prevent curtailment of generation from renewable sources. The GEMS software system will manage the island’s generation assets as a microgrid. The system is expected to be online in April.

It is predicted that boosted by new energy passenger car and hybrid vehicle markets, EV motor controller market will be worth RMB36.1 billion in 2022, and passenger car will play a dominant role.In the next five to ten years, SiC IGBT chip will get massively utilized in motor controllers (inverters). SiC devices can cut down switching losses significantly, improve system efficiency, reduce dead time, and enhance system output capability. The total cost of battery packs and controllers can drop by 5%, and the mileage range can rise by 10%. Tesla is the first automaker to integrate a full SiC power module in its Model 3. Thanks to its collaboration with STMicroelectronics, the Tesla inverter is composed of 24 1-in-1 power modules assembled on a pin-fin heatsink.High integration facilitates the spatial layout of the vehicle. In the limited space of new energy vehicles (especially passenger cars), the power and electronic integration technologies are used to integrate the automotive power supply with either motor controllers or electronic control system components such as the high-voltage power distribution boxes in a bid to reduce the space occupied by the automotive power supply, lowering the manufacturing cost and lifting the power density. This has become the development direction of the automotive power supply products.Bidirectional DC/DC transmission is anticipated to gain ground as it can be used for braking energy recovery, auxiliary battery/capacitor charging and discharging, and high/low-voltage energy conversion of 48V micro-hybrid models. Bidirectional DC/DC solutions are more efficient, less occupied and more affordable than the reverse parallel of 2 unidirectional DC/DC converters, typically finding application in Toyota Prius.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Yue Zhao, assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Arkansas, has been awarded $3.4 million to advance power electronics research on the nation’s electric grid. The award includes $2,765,138 from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office and $713,853 in matching funds from university and industry partners.

Newer entertainment systems on some American Airlines and Singapore Airlines planes can monitor passengers

When Arsenal takes to the pitch on the 21st against Bate Borisov, they will play on green grass grown under green-powered lights, surrounded by fans supporting their efforts. The club’s push to renewables is entering a new phase, and it seems others may follow in their footsteps.

New technologies are allowing photovoltaic (PV) inverters to switch at ever higher frequencies. Consequently, these inverters are becoming much smaller and lighter. Meanwhile, international competition and reduced available subsidies for new installations brings strong pressure on cost. The current transducers used in PV inverters must follow the trends: they must have a reduced footprint while maintaining or improving performance at a lower cost, as compared to the transducers they replace. Typically, PV installations use current transducers in three places. On the DC side, they are needed for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system. On the AC side, they are used to define the parameters of the output current waveform, and in the safety system as an important component of ground fault or residual current monitors (RCM).

The Indipro Tools’ Fusion Charger (Model: PD-M2S) features a 16.8V/2.5A charging output and a regulated 12V/6A, four-pin XLR DC output for powering cameras, lights and other devices in the field. It also supports 90-250VAC or 47-63Hz of power input. With a working temperature of 14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 40 degrees Celsius), the Fusion Charger can operate just about anywhere that extreme temperatures might exist. Additionally, at just over four pounds (1820g) and 9.5 x 8.25 x 3-inches (240 x 210 x 78-mm) in size, the charger integrates nicely into any mobile workflow.

But is this still a cause for concern with newer phone models and security software updates? Chris Hoffman from How-To Geek reports that current iPhones and Android phones usually require your permission to share data so the risk is minimal. He explains that with an iPhone “you’re safe unless the charger attacks your phone through an unknown security hole.” Apple’s USB Restricted Mode, a recent security update, gives extra protection to iPhones and iPads by shutting off access to data on devices when charging via the Lightning port. He warns, however, that there are slightly bigger risks with Android models.

Mike is an inspiration true! But I’d also like to send a shout out to Megan Woolhouse for structuring the article so well! Old Mike/New Mike. Brilliant!

That being said, it actually sounded better than I expected. It can put out decent volume and while the bass is understandably a bit thin, music is perfectly listenable so long as you don’t try to crank it up. It won’t replace your home stereo, but for a compact portable that would be sitting on a table beside you, it does fine. And if you leave it attached to the battery base (and don’t use that battery to top up smartphones) it has enough power to run for 72 hours. Three days…

June ended up being one hell of a busy month news-wise, thanks primarily to China’s announcement. As many pointed out, the industry should have seen it coming; it nevertheless was still an abrupt bit of policy meddling, which is never a good idea.
