The trend toward e-mobility is finally gaining traction in the market, as more and more vehicles of all kinds are being outfitted with energy efficient and zero emission drives. Besides cars, they ...

The lead-in to this post is here: Micro-inverters offer one solution for optimizing solar efficiency. Probably the most well-known micro-inverter company is Enphase, which sells a 200W inverter for ...

Scientists in India have developed a 500 W seven-level inverter prototype based on switched capacitors. The device is reportedly able to achieve a high efficiency despite switching, conduction, and ...

Enecsys claims that its 240W micro-inverters are the first to achieve UL certification without electrolytic capacitors. The photovoltaic (PV) micro-inverter is also certified for use in Europe. With ...

[Bertho] really enjoyed pawing through the pile of projects submitted to the 7400 logic contest. But one thing kept hitting him with the vast majority of the entries: decoupling capacitors were ...

LA JOLLA, CA – Scripps Research, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and several other collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

Power inverters are the beating heart in the drive train of modern electric cars. They turn the electrical energy from the batteries into something that engines can actually use. Fraunhofer IZM has ...
