Global electricity demand is rising faster than new large power plants can be built, and the cost of that imbalance is ...

PV inverters convert the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels into the alternating current (AC) used by homes and ...

A German research team has developed a semiconductor-based protection concept tailored to renewable energy systems that forces a permanent short circuit in less than 1 millisecond in the event of a ...

Abstract: We experimentally confirmed that the steep subthreshold slope (SS) device “PN body-tied silicon-on-insulator (SOI) field-effect transistor” can reduce the short-circuit current of a ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

A new technical paper titled “Accelerating OTA Circuit Design: Transistor Sizing Based on a Transformer Model and Precomputed Lookup Tables” was published by University Minnesota and Cadence. “Device ...

Case study examines a common PV inverter failure that can drive uncommon issues in the field — namely, damage to the AC protection equipment from DC fault currents for short periods during transformer ...

Solar inverters in Brazil must include arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) from Dec. 1, according to new rules from Inmetro. Several distributors have reportedly begun selling non-compliant ...
