The right technology for solar converters
Following a short overview of types of solar power systems and converters, this application note introduces a fully working, grid-connected solar inverter prototype suitable for rooftop applications. This solar inverter has been equipped with STMicroelectronics’ MDmesh and silicon carbide (SiC) devices to allow evaluation of these products in “green” technologies.
Energy Efficiency to Emerge as Key Purchase Criterion for Pumps in the Oil and Gas Industry, Says Frost & Sullivan
The oil and gas industry in Europe has been through economic vagaries in the last 10 years with financing difficulties and low oil prices resulting in several projects being either postponed or abandoned altogether. This, in turn, has affected the uptake of pumps by the industry. Nevertheless, demand for pumps is set to grow steadily as projects gradually start being revived.
