Axinar has launched SolBox, a direct PV water heating system that powers electric resistance accumulators without thermal collectors. It’s designed for homes and businesses, offering real-time ...

Continuing his reverse-engineering of the Intel 8087, [Ken Shirriff] covers the conditional tests that are implemented in the microcode of this floating point processing unit (FPU). This microcode ...

PV inverters convert the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels into the alternating current (AC) used by homes and businesses. They are also used with battery energy storage systems in solar, ...

Hyundai has developed an innovative system that expands the EV’s usable voltage range by increasing voltage utilization. The "6 plus 6" configuration increases the voltage that can be supplied to the ...

In a deal that surprised some industry observers, chipmaker Qualcomm has agreed to buy Arduino, which is best known for supplying microcontrollers to the DIY community. The acquisition, whose terms ...

Paul and David Bradt’s Ardiono Projects offers multiple ways to use Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers for your model railroading projects. Buy the book here. Code for Button/Blink Test (SN095) ...

Generac Holdings has introduced an 820-watt microinverter that takes electricity from two solar panels and converts it from the DC (direct current) power they produce into AC (alternating current) ...

A power inverter is a useful device that converts direct current (DC) from a battery into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity most home appliances use. It becomes handy during ...

Increasing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) necessitates newer methods of planning and analysis of disturbances. The existing phasor-domain transient stability (TS) analysis may not ...

Over the last decade, the open-source movement has not only transformed the world of software, but also catalyzed a sweeping revolution in hardware tinkering. At the heart of this shift lies a ...
