Whether you deliver energy through a pipeline or the smart grid, you’ll need components selected for performance and lifetime within harsh environments. Explore our resources to stay up to date with energy trends and technology.
Renewable energy's surge demands reliable IPE OFF-board products like connectors and bus bars for seamless integration and efficient power transmission.
To accelerate the EV transition, reliable and efficient charging infrastructure is crucial. IPE OFF-board products play a vital role in meeting this need.
This article aims to assist in selecting the correct power supply for medical applications. It explains the main factors to consider in identifying the optimal power supply option and provides a brief overview.
Investment in European solar startups is up 414% year-on-year, by the end of Q2, with companies receiving $6.53 billion by the end of Q2 compared with $1.27 billion raised by this time last year.
The IoT is changing the way we manage and maintain essential assets. Smart sensors, cloud-based analytics and remote management are coming together to increase productivity, efficiency and reliability.
EV chargers operate in a sometimes-harsh environment, but must be efficient and reliable with a long service lifetime. This blog picks out and discusses some components that are critical to achieving these goals.
IoT ecosystems are reliant on distributing many Things into a wide variety of arbitrary environments. However, the key to the long term, low maintenance operation of these remote devices lies a combination of battery technology and energy harvesting.
2021 is shaping up to be the year in which adoption of the Electric Vehicle takes off. First half sales in the key markets of China, the USA and Europe, accounted for 26% of all new vehicle sales, globally and, in the UK alone.
From the end of 2021, the CE mark will no longer be recognised in the UK. Andy Hutton gives a run down of what you need to know about the new UKCA mark.
Traditional electromagnetic relays, (EMRs), are still popular choices for certain applications, particularly where high-power switching is required, but increasingly, MOSFETs are being used in modern applications.
The growing demand for safe, robust and energy-efficient ways to switch relatively large amounts of power means that relays have an important role to play in a wide range of modern applications.
To mark International Women’s Day, we spoke to two female engineers at different points in their careers – one from the UK and one from Germany – to find out from them what their take is on being a woman in engineering and to learn more about t
Rapidly increasing market demand and the rationalisation of product offerings from Li-ion cell manufacturers are impacting the choices available to design engineers. Here Tim Parker discusses the background to these dynamics and how engineers can suc
Transportation vehicles pose a challenging environment for the power supply designer. DC-DC converters are used to power on-board sensors, communication radios, positioning and location sensing, lighting, and information systems. Huge voltage variati
Traditionally, system designers try to use ‘off-the-shelf’ standard components, expecting the lowest cost as a result. With power supplies, this is not necessarily the case when a holistic view is taken. A compelling case can be made for cost eff
Traditional battery technologies are being challenged by a relatively new kid on the block, the supercapacitor, and forcing developers across a range of battery-powered applications to examine just what and when power is needed for their system.
As pressure on the world’s lithium reserves increases, wireless power transfer simplifies charging and enables designers to use lower-capacity batteries and create new types of smart devices.
Thanks to the emergence of the internet of things (IoT), almost all of today’s electronic device designs will have to integrate some form of wireless connectivity or other. The easiest, quickest and cheapest way to do this is with wireless modules.
Supercapacitors are commonly used as an alternative to a rechargeable battery wherever a quick energy boost is needed, however there is another type of device on the market which combines the best features of EDLCs and Li-ion batteries.
