StoreDot, producer of extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology for electric vehicles, announced that it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Flex|N|Gate, an automotive component manufacturer.

Renewable energy depends on safe, reliable, and efficient energy storage systems (ESSs) to provide buffering between supply and demand. However, proving that an ESS is fit for purpose while complying with all relevant legislation is not a straightforward task. This article looks at the issues involved, and possible solutions.

Aerospace giant Airbus has announced its plans for what it is calling the first commercial zero-emission aircraft which could be in service and carrying real passengers as early as 2035, well before the “net-zero” deadlines of many countries including the United Kingdom.

Electrically-powered UAVs are increasingly popular for many applications – but how can they best be kept aloft and functional? This article reviews the electric power sourcing options available to UAV designers, and underlines the importance of effective power systems design.

The collaboration is an important milestone for Italvolt. In order to accelerate the time to market, the XFC (Extreme Fast Charging) technology has been licensed. Under the agreement, StoreDot will become an off-take partner, enabling StoreDot to secure capacity for its potential customers.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT has taken the world by storm to generate human-like responses. The AI tool assists professionals in content creation, research, and even coding in various programming languages. But little did you know ChatGPT tries to mimic an electronic engineer’s response. Let us look at the impact of ChatGPT on the Power Electronics Industry and evaluate its assistance to the engineers.

In the first nine months of this year, German manufacturers of electrical installation systems recorded a 9.5 % increase in sales. In addition, supply chains have stabilized somewhat in the meantime, but are not yet as reliable as they were before Corona in the case of preliminary electronics products.

Researchers from ETH Zurich, Empa and the University of Zurich have developed a new material for an electronic component that can be used in a wider range of applications than its predecessors. Such components will help create electronic circuits that emulate the human brain and that are more efficient than conventional computers at performing machine-learning tasks.

Researchers at Brown University have used graphene to “double” the toughness of a ceramic material that is used to make solid-state lithium-ion batteries. However, there are a few challenges that scientists need to overcome first.

The Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) market is growing rapidly worldwide and is expected to reach up to 1TWh by 2025. This growth is driven by the ever-expanding use and penetration of renewables and the drive for decarbonisation. With this growth comes a need to ensure the safety and reliability of such systems.
