The rapid expansion of high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids, driven by the massive integration of renewable energy sources, has underscored the critical role of DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) and ...
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology offers several advantages compared to alternating current transmission systems. For example, it allows more efficient bulk power transfer over long ...
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ideal Power Inc. (NASDAQ: IPWR) (the “Company”), pioneering the development and commercialization of highly efficient and broadly patented B-TRAN™ ...
When picking a switch to use in electrical design, many people believe they can use any switch, provided its current rating is more than the maximum load in the circuit. This, of course, isn’t true.
Multimeters are one of the most fundamental pieces of test equipment in any lab, but they can often do much more than we realize. Let's take a look at the variety of measurements a standard multimeter ...
A publicly-funded European team lead by Infineon is to try and develop a semiconductor-based DC circuit breaker Losses in power grids and electric devices are between 5% and 7% smaller with direct ...
Three major high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology giants—GE Vernova, Siemens Energy, and Hitachi Energy—will join forces with four German transmission system operators—50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT ...
As the story goes, the rock band AC/DC took its name from a label on an old sewing machine in the Young brothers’ home. It must have meant that the machine could run on either alternating-current or ...
