Toyota Motor Corporation has developed batteries based on the concept of "safe, long service life, high-quality, good value for price, and high performance" so that customers can use them with peace of mind. This technology utilizing many years of electrified vehicle development as well as on-board parts and units have been used to create the O-Uchi Kyuden System, a home storage battery system.

Continuous operation with direct current already serves a purpose today in data centers. Energy efficiency is its main advantage. New DC connectors are currently being standardized at the device-side. Here we take a look at current developments and standardization activities.

The PCIM Europe will soon be opening its doors again and turning Nuremberg into a hotspot for the power electronics industry. Visitors can look forward to numerous product innovations and a varied presentation program on current industry topics from 9 - 11 May 2023.

TotalEnergies has been awarded by the Bundesnetzagentur (German Federal Network Agency) two marine concessions, N-12.1 and O-2.2, at the end of the auction held in Germany. The two wind farms will be able to supply approximately 3 million households with electricity.

Recent advances in semiconductor research have led to the emergence of compound semiconductors. They’re lighter, faster, smaller, and more efficient. But will they lead to the replacement of pure silicon in power electronics applications?

Can we contribute to the worldwide energy challenge by maximizing the efficiency in power conversion at a low cost? The answer is: YESvGaN! So, the goal of the YESvGaN consortium is to create a new class of vertical power transistors based on Gallium Nitride (GaN), so-called vertical GaN membrane transistors.

Amber Solutions, a Silicon Valley company that recently made headlines for its AC/DC enabler and AC switch that makes possible the digital control of electricity in solid-state architecture, claims that it is moving closer to achieving complete digital control.

A team of researchers from South Korea’s Pohang University of Science and Technology claims to have developed a faster charging and longer lasting battery material that can charge cars up to 90 percent in a record time of just 6 minutes.

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation has announced that the company has unveiled a new 24V Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) for wireless earphone batteries.

The application of switched-mode power conversion technology began in consumer electronics more than four decades ago. In that time, it has spread itself out to almost all industries, enabling them to benefit from higher power conversion efficiency, lighter weight, and increased power density at lower costs.
