This Design Idea describes a circuit employing a small microcontroller-based sensor module with only three connections: 5V dc, an RS-232 transmit-data output, and ground. A dedicated single-voltage ...

Scientists in the Emirates have conceived a new space vector pulse width modulation method that reportedly reduces switching losses and increase efficiency in three-phase photovoltaic inverters. The ...

Renewable energy continues to be a massive trend around the world. As methods for capturing wind, solar, and other forms of renewable energy have developed, the cost and efficiency of renewable energy ...

With the increasing popularity of alternate power sources, such as solar and wind, the need for static inverters to convert dc energy stored in batteries to conventional ac form has increased ...

Adjustable-frequency drives have been billed as an energy efficient way to drive three-phase ac induction motors. Nevertheless, designers should understand that motors fed by inverter power experience ...
