the research consultancy for energy technologies
Electronic devices are changing the world, from portable electronics to AI data centers. Hence what materials are used in electronic devices, as percentage of mass, and in kg/kW terms? This…
…the Model? Power electronics: market size in energy transition? We describe c15 problems incurred by industrial and commercial power consumers. Many will require additional investment as renewables replace the large…
…yield electricity directly (i.e., no heat engines are involved). Electricity can be the highest-grade form of energy. But electricity also requires resilient power grids, sophisticated power electronics and possibly also…
…includes plug-and-play electrical connections, guards to secure those connections, accomodating one fuse and more electronics per panel rather than shared across many panels, and discconnect mechanisms that facilitate maintenance. Full…
…reviewed. Download Global polysilicon production capacity? Polysilicon is a highly pure, crystalline silicon material, used predominantly for photovoltaic solar, and also for ‘chips’ in the electronics industry. Global polysilicon capacity…
The purpose of this data-file is to summarize the main challenges in power electronics, products offering solutions, and how their deployment will evolve amidst the ramp-up of renewables and electrification….
…optimization and power-filtering using advanced electronics, to improve the longevity of solar and battery systems. Often this involves inverter/electronics technology replacing conventional/physical power-management equipment. The patent library scored relatively well…
…sector in conventional energy (pages 2-4). The incumbent semiconductor used in 99.9% of electronics and 95% of power electronics is silicon. However, a new entrant is gaining ground. Silicon carbide…
