…below). This AC power signal can be used to feed power into the grid, or to drive the electric motors in an electric vehicle. The switches are MOSFETs or IGBTs….
…include electric motors, including for electric vehicles; electric compressors, especially for HVAC applications and heat pumps; wind turbines. More mundanely, permanent magnets are also sold into ordinary household appliances like…
…Snohvit LNG started up in 2007, with the first e-drive system in the world, and what were at the time, the world’s largest high-voltage and high-speed synchronous motors, with 180MW…
…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…
