Following successful final acceptance testing at the Siemens transformer factory in Nuremberg, the world’s first 800-kV transformer for extra-high-voltage DC transmission systems HVDC is ready for ...

Traditionally, power converter design for energy storage systems (BESS) normally focuses on conversion efficiency and total ...

You can’t feed electricity from a solar power plant or wind turbine straight into the mains, you have to convert it using an inverter. IGBTs are fast power switches that “float” on high potentials and ...

Download this article in PDF format. Most applications for power conversion involve a raw supply to be processed to a different stabilized voltage, often with galvanic isolation. Typical scenarios may ...

There is much confusion in the marketplace about the different types of UPS systems and their characteristics. Each of these UPS types is defined, practical applications of each are discussed, and ...

As envisioned by First Solar at their Analyst Day in 2016, the MVDC plant architecture replaces DC combiner boxes with DC-DC converters that boost string voltages from 1500V DC to the range of 5kV DC ...

Ideal Power Converters (IPC) today announced that seven of their new 30kW photovoltaic (PV) inverters have been installed and are successfully operating at The University of Texas at Austin s (UT) new ...

The University of Texas at Austin’s (UT) new 200kW solar system is sporting seven of Ideal Power Converters (IPC) 30kW PV inverters. Each inverter weighs only 94 pounds, compared to traditional ...
