As the only Australian-based company to join the scheme, Redback Technologies is offering its storage solution, the Smart Hybrid Inverter, to South Australians at a subsidized cost.

During the last decade, new silicon MOSFETs have been introduced in inverters, and in the future MOSFETs based on SiC and GaN will begin to replace those using silicon. This allows higher frequency switching, which in turn means that reactive components (inductors, capacitors) of lower value and with smaller physical dimensions can be used. A 2kW inverter available in 2010 and weighing over 20 kg, according to the manufacturer´s datasheet, has been replaced in 2016 by a model weighing less than 10 kg. In order for the current transducers used as measurement devices in a PV system to continue to use a negligible part of the overall space and weight budget, the transducer size must also reduce without any performance degradation. Similarly, their cost must reduce to follow the downwards cost trend of the complete inverter system.

Inverters are the electronic heartbeat of a solar system, connecting solar arrays to the grid and increasingly, to battery storage. As utilities continue to shift rate structures in ways that often harm grid-tied residential solar customers, inverter manufacturers are working to make battery integration seamless.

An Arsenal ornament hangs from a Christmas tree branch in a nondescript lobby at Emirates Stadium in North London, lights glowing in its reflective surface. Even on the days when there are no matches at this 60,260-seat venue, the quiet lobby off Queensland Road keeps the electric cheer going strong.

High power battery is a significant feature that changes the way you look at a smartphone. Your phone requires a smart battery which promises extensive usage without causing any glitch in your work. Well, it wouldn’t be wrong to say a phone with longer battery life definitely earns more brownie points and gets picked up from the racks.

If you’re playing on console, this is where the funky controls come in. While holding down the ‘left’ button, you’ll need to pump the right trigger – or press it lots of times, to you and me – to charge the battery. It’s supposed to mimic the pumping action Artyom makes on the portable battery charger, but mostly, it’s a bit annoying.

Advance Market Analytics, a global market research and consulting organization, have released a new study titled "Hybrid System market – Global outlook to 2024". Industries constant focus on reducing the operational cost and increased attention on core business, and need to improve scalability are expected to shape the Global Hybrid System market to grow at a CAGR of 11.28%.

“We are trying to ensure that it has all the requirements of the needs of the office-goer, or the student, or the millennials. For us, customer convenience is paramount. We have recognized the need for the feature phone’s basic requirement of high power battery and the R&D team is consistently working towards how we can create a powerful device packing advanced features but also not comprising of the battery life,” he adds.
