One of the most productive new approaches to power quality is immunity testing — making sure that loads can tolerate common disturbances without additional filtering or support. This kind of testing ...

Researchers have developed a new type of small-scale electric power generator able to produce alternating current through the cyclical stretching and releasing of zinc oxide wires encapsulated in a ...

The design of a generator system requires many hours of detailed planning with the goal of creating an extremely reliable backup power source. Properly installed, the ...

The LT3954, a DC/DC converter designed to operate as a constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator with an internal 5A switch, is now available from Linear Technology. The LT3954, a DC/DC ...

Traditional power stations are increasingly being replaced by wind and solar power plants – but that means the power grid lacks a stable pacemaker. Researchers from ETH Zurich are developing a control ...

It hasn’t been that long since humans figured out how to create power grids that integrated multiple generators and consumers. Ever since AC won the battle of the currents, grid operators have had to ...

CT20307 is an accurate reference voltage generator. In order to achieve a total error <2%, the amplifier in the bandgap core block implements an of ...

The PVX-4110 is a ±10 kV pulse output generator that is optimized to drive deflection plates, grids and other capacitive loads. It is protected against arcs, short circuits and load transients with ...

An electric current can be induced in in a coil of wire by moving a magnet in and out of the coil. AC generators are used in the generation of electricity and in their simplest form consist of a coil ...

In the future, Europe is to be dominantly powered by renewable energy. The expansion of wind and solar power capacity and the provision of sufficient power in winter are just two of the challenges ...
