From “Power Electronics Inside” to “Human-Centered Power Electronics”

September 29, 2023 by Harish S. Krishnamoorthy

An early mantra of our field was “power electronics inside,” a take on a popular tagline from a major electronics company. Power electronics continues to be an infrastructure and internal technology—throughout the grid, integral to our computers and devices, essential in motor drives, embedded in our cars and appliances, actively managing renewable energy systems, and … [Read more...] about From “Power Electronics Inside” to “Human-Centered Power Electronics”

Advanced Inverter Interactions With Electric Grids

July 7, 2023 by Leo Casey

The evolution of advanced inverter-based resources (IBR) is closely coupled with the growth of their applications in electric power networks. Most applications of inverters during this transition were grid-following (GFL) inverters. As IBRs gradually displaced rotating synchronous generators in electric power grid applications, issues such as the behavior of low-inertia grids, … [Read more...] about Advanced Inverter Interactions With Electric Grids

Monolithic Bidirectional Power Transistors

March 15, 2023 by Jonas Huber

Today’s global megatrends—loosely defined as long-term trends that shape societies and economies worldwide—include, e.g., the transition to a fully renewable energy supply and the establishment of evermore stringent efficiency requirements for industry. Similarly, the trend of rapid global urbanization creates a need for sustainable mobility. The digital disruption contributes … [Read more...] about Monolithic Bidirectional Power Transistors

A Novel High-Speed Sensorless Faulty Panel Detection Technique for an SPV String/Array

Energy generating systems transcending into the renewable and clean fuel domain has put solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems in an unprecedented position of importance in the fuel and energy sector. However, lower efficiencies offered by these systems in comparison with traditional power generating systems such as coal-fired plants, has demanded the use of multiple techniques to … [Read more...] about A Novel High-Speed Sensorless Faulty Panel Detection Technique for an SPV String/Array

Inverter’s Nonlinear Efficiency and Demand-Side Management Challenges

March 1, 2021 by Roghieh A. Biroon, Zoleikha Abdollahi, and Ramtin Hadidi

Image of solar panels.

Renewable energy resources have become an increasingly significant part of power generation for reducing fossil fuel consumption and pollutant emission. Wind and solar energy resources are the most promising options among available renewable energy resources, as they are ever-present, freely available, and environmentally friendly. However, in the presence of renewable … [Read more...] about Inverter’s Nonlinear Efficiency and Demand-Side Management Challenges
