Advanced Cell Engineering (ACE), a developer and licensor of next-generation high energy density battery cell technology, has filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its very large format (VLF) cell. The patent filing represents a key milestone in the company’s “Project Magnus,” in which ACE will finalize cell design and chemistry for a highly efficient, 1-meter cell-to-pack prismatic cell. This is ACE’s fourth patent application in the last six months.

onsemi, a specialist in intelligent power and sensing technologies, and Ampt LLC, a global DC optimizer company for large-scale PV solar and energy storage systems, have announced their collaboration to meet the high demand for DC string optimizers. Ampt uses onsemi’s N-Channel SiC MOSFET, part of the EliteSiC family of SiC technologies, in its DC string optimizers for critical power switching applications.

Bosch is entering the hydrogen age of mobility. At its Stuttgart-Feuerbach location, the supplier of technology and services has now begun volume production of its fuel-cell power module. Nikola Corporation, based in the United States, will serve as the pilot customer with its Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric truck, which is scheduled to enter the North American market in the third quarter of 2023.

Batteries are ubiquitous today, and both rechargeable and non-rechargeable types are used across a broad spectrum of applications. But why aren’t all types of battery rechargeable?

Research by Global Market Insights has predicted that the global machine vision sensor market will grow to a value exceeding US$10 billion by 2032, representing a CAGR of 7.5 %.

The term ‘Electric Vehicle’ covers many vehicle types, which differ in how they deploy petrol and electrical energy. This article looks at the major options currently available, and their relative merits for motorists.

Two of the things most drivers of electric vehicles wish for are efficient driving and the shortest possible recharging time. Bosch is now starting the production of new powertrain solutions based on 800-volt technology. This will make recharging faster and provide a further boost for electromobility.

XP Power has announced the launch of a new series of low profile, baseplate cooled 160W AC-DC power solutions, to complement the previously released 75W and 110W versions. The new units are intended for use in semiconductor manufacturing and industrial technology applications including test and measurement, factory automation and process control, with a focus on solving cooling, air pollution and integration issues.

In the solid state transformers with medium voltage SiC-Devices, it is possible to achieve very high efficiency, although designing a sufficiently high switching frequency in order reduce filter elements, volume and mass of the transformer.
