This paper proposes the analysis of the performance of two different architectures of BMS. The comparison has been performed in terms of equalization speed, power losses, complexity of both hardware and software implementation, size and cost. The functionalities of the equalization process have been verified in charging, discharging and idle state.

Highly reliable interconnect technologies are increasingly used to achieve much higher reliability or enable the device to operate at elevated temperature. These benefits, however, evolve new challenges for the qualification process.

The candidate list REACh of the European Chemicals Agency grows by four more substances of very high concern (SVHC) to a total of 201 substances. Details on the new entries and the companies' immediate obligation to inform their customers can be found in this article.

Coventry in the UK is destined to become home to the world’s first “airport” for electric aircraft. Known as Air-One, it’s set to launch this year as a hub for aircraft including air taxis and delivery drones.

Power over Ethernet has long been popular for connecting network devices, as it eliminates the power cable connection. But how has PoE kept pace with the ever more power hungry devices essential to today’s networks? This article looks at the answer.

Demand Side Response (DSR) is an electrical power-related concept that offers potential benefits both to grid operators and medium to large scale business users. Read now what companies should consider when planning to participate in some types of DSR systems.

Aehr Test Systems, a worldwide supplier of semiconductor test and production burn-in equipment, has announced a new silicon carbide semiconductor customer and initial order for a FOX-XP™ multi-wafer test and burn-in system, multiple WaferPak™ Contactors, a WaferPak Aligner, and a high-volume production support kit to be used for volume production of silicon carbide MOSFETs for electric vehicles, trucks, and train traction inverter modules.

The Internet of Things (IoT) market continues to expand in terms of revenue and innovative capacity. The booming market open numerous possibilities for both companies and private people. However, there’s a flipside to this development too: it’s significantly contributing to our constantly increasing energy demand. Therefore, the IoT sector must become significantly better at energy saving.

A research team at Penn State has developed a design for Next-Gen Batteries that can help technology paradigms like Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy, attain their full potential.
