…to the 400kV busbars onshore to dampen high frequency harmonics. All of this illustrates that modern wind projects are using larger and increasingly sophisticated power electronics, where smaller and earlier…
…source usually ranges from 5-15c/kWh. A resilient, low-carbon grid is diversified. And there is hidden value in materials, power quality and electronics. These ideas are explored in our 15-page note….
…the early 1980s. (2) How are neodymium magnets used? These magnets are used in electric motors, generators (especially wind turbines) and other electronics (especially computer hard drives, audio equipment, and…
…which two-thirds is used in industry, and one-third is used in jewellery, silver and stores of financial/investment value. 12kTpa is used in electrical equipment and electronics, of which up to…
…made by customers, such as in switchgear, power electronics and amperage upgrades. The model can be downloaded to stress-test simple numbers, inputs and outputs. Please contact us know if the…
…$40/ton of CO2, with an upper bound of $120/ton, but this masks material mix-shifts. New opportunities are largest in efficiency gains, under-supplied commodities, power-electronics, conventional CCUS and nature-based CO2 removals….
…lower material usage may also yield important cost-savings. Power electronics are overlooked in the revolution of electrifying transport. We note the importance of Moore’s Law on page 12, in the…
…15-page note reviews past projects and technical papers. 5-10% pa degradation rates would raise green hydrogen costs by $1/kg. Avoiding degradation justifies higher capex, especially on power-electronics and even batteries?…
New technologies for the energy transition range across renewables, next-gen nuclear (fission and fusion), next-gen materials, EV charging, battery designs, CCS technologies, electronics, recycling, vehicles, hydrogen technologies and advanced bio-fuels….
…batteries, in grid-scale storage and electric vehicles. The data suggest hidden upside in the demand for batteries, for lithium and high-quality power electronics, especially if batteries are to backstop renewables….
