It acts as a switch that can turn on and conduct electricity under the right conditions, making it particularly useful in applications requiring precise power control, such as motor drives, light ...

Russia stages first big missile attack on Kyiv since August Power system damaged further as winter sets in Strike piles pressure on Ukraine at critical juncture Attack prompts Poland to scramble air ...

Recently, a research group led by Associate Prof. LI Hua from Institute of Plasma Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Dr. TONG Wei's ...

It is estimated that by 2030, up to 80% of electric power worldwide will rely on power electronics in some capacity. This makes power electronics crucial for improving energy efficiency, reducing ...

The current capability of the well-known bond technology used in IGBT modules is limited. In case of failure, the bond wires are damaged, and the current circuits are opened in an uncontrolled manner.

Thyristors can provide an efficient alternative to SiC in applying MW EV-charging for heavy-duty vehicles used in commercial transportation. Personal and commercial transportation currently ...

As the quest to develop a net-zero carbon emissions electricity grid marches on, global entities like the International Energy Agency (IEA) increasingly point to a big role for carbon capture, ...

The variant of swapping the thyratron switch with a thyristor switch in the power supply of Nuclotron Booster inflector plates is considered. The results of measuring the switching time as a function ...

Abstract: Operating at high frequencies in power converter is often limited by the reverse recovery behaviour of the power switching device used. The use of "carrier-lifetime-killing" techniques can ...
