The world’s energy demand is rising, and NREL’s ULIS power module could help meet it. Demand for energy worldwide is climbing rapidly, driven in part by power hungry data centers that support ...

Global electricity demand is rising faster than new large power plants can be built, and the cost of that imbalance is showing up in household bills and grid instability. Instead of relying only on ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) continues to carve out a place for itself in power electronics after decades of dominance by silicon. SiC-based power switches are becoming the gold standard in the three-phase ...

Power modules are high-power switching circuits that convert DC- in AC-currents in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and many more applications. New materials [14] and device technologies [14], ...

Power modules are the foundation of modern electrical systems, especially within electric vehicles (xEVs), industrial motor applications, and renewable energy solutions such as wind and solar power.

A year ago, I’ve design reviewed an MCU module for CAN hacking, called TinySparrow. Modules are plenty cool, and even more so when they’re intended for remaking car ECUs. For a while now, every car ...

In an exclusive interview with TI’s director of power management R&D, we explore the role of advanced packaging in low-voltage power electronics. From state-of-the-art materials and process technology ...

Damage to a relay contact after cyclic current loading. A better understanding of inverter reliability will help boost performance and reduce costs. Image: Fraunhofer IMWS. Inverters are critical to ...

A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has investigated the degradation mechanisms of industrial TOPCon solar modules encapsulated with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) under ...

Some areas in the US are particularly prone to hailstorms, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Image: RETC Hailstorms can cause severe damage to solar PV plants. In Texas, 400,000 of a solar ...
