…lithium ion batteries are 75-95% efficient. The technology is only getting better, including via power electronics and electric motors. So this is a game changer for light transportation, which becomes…
…order to provide the enormous bursts of energy to instigate nuclear fusion reactions, it has 2 giant flywheels. Each one is ramped up over 9-minutes using 8.8MW motors, then the…
…Electrical grade steel is used in electric motors, transformers and generators, in order to create electro-magnetic fields. Finally, PV silicon is a semiconductor, around 10,000 more resistive than conductive metals,…
…to cart Reactive power is needed to create magnetic fields within ‘inductive loads’ like motors, electric heat, IT hardware and LEDs. But it is wasteful. 0.8-0.9 x power factors mean…
…I2R losses by keeping voltage in phase with current, even when power is supplied to components such as motors, electric arc furnaces, LED lights, computing infrastructure. In our base case…
This data-file outlines the top twenty companies producing variable frequency drives to precisely control electric motors. In each case, we have quantified the companies’ size, market share, percentage exposure to…
…are described on pages 12-14, covering the growing trend towards smaller and more fragmented power distribution. Power-consuming technologies are described on pages 15-17, explaining how induction motors, resistive heaters, lighting…
