In the race to reduce aircraft emissions, developers increasingly are moving toward more efficient designs including electrical systems that replace today’s pneumatics and hydraulics powering everything from on-board alternators to actuators and Auxiliary Power Units (APUs). To enable next-generation aircraft electrical systems, new power conversion technology is required. Microchip Technology hasannounced its development with Clean Sky, a ...

Wärtsilä will supply a 5.2MW / 5.2MWh energy storage system for the Taiwanese grid as they seek to achieve 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2025. The order was placed in August 2021 by Shangfa Construction who will build the energy storage facility on behalf of North-Star International

Today’s energy-efficient electric charging systems powering commercial vehicle propulsion, as well as auxiliary power systems, solar inverters, solid-state transformers and other transportation and industrial applications all rely on high-voltage switching power devices. To meet these requirements, Microchip Technology has announced the expansion of its SiC power portfolio with a family of high-efficiency, high-reliability1,700V silicon car...

According to Report Linker, the aerospace market is expected to grow from $9.6bn in 2021 to $17.7bn by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. From personal flying vehicles to a greener aerospace, it’s clear the aerospace sector is developing fast — but where did it all begin? Here, Chris Johnson, Managing Director ofSMB Bearings, has explored a brief history of bearings in the aerospace sector.

igus has developed a new predictive maintenance device, a new home for the software to power its smart plastics products – thei.Cee:localmodule. The module calculates the remaining service life of the energy chain, cable, linear guide and/or plain bearings during their operation. By doing this, the service life of the system can be optimised, faults are detected and rectified at an early stage, and more accurate maintenance can be planned i...

KONGSBERG technology is set to play a pivotal role in the working life of a recently-activated microsatellite. The Norwegian Space Agency’s new NorSat-3, launched on April 29th, 2021 from Vega Flight VV 18 which took off from the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guyana, will be used by the Norwegian Coastal Administration for monitoring maritime traffic in Norway’s busy seaways. Its AIS and NRD (Navigation Radar Detector) payload ...

Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top power products to have been released in June.

The European Patent Office (EPO) has announced the 15 inventors and inventor teams shortlisted as finalists for the 2021 edition of the European Inventor Award. The EPO’s prestigious annual innovation prize, now in its 15thyear, recognises outstanding inventors who have made an exceptional contribution to technology, society, and economic growth.

Satellite communication systems use complex modulation schemes to achieve the fast data rates required to deliver video and broadband data. To attain this, they must deliver high RF output power while simultaneously ensuring the signals retain their desired characteristics. The newGMICP2731-10 GaN MMICpower amplifier announced by Microchip Technology helps meet the requirements of GaN RF.

Analog Deviceshas announced a collaboration with MDA to deliver the Beam Forming Integrated Circuit (BFIC) to be used in MDA’s sophisticated phased array antenna for the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. Telesat Lightspeed, initially comprised of 298 next-generation satellites, is planned to launch in the second half of 2023 and will redefine global broadband connectivity for commercial, government and defenc...
