Minor adjustments to switching frequency, thermal management, bias power, and inductor selection improves 48V buck converter ...

As the cost of electricity goes up, energy efficiency becomes more and more relevant as a design parameter. This is even the case in motion/position control applications, where servomotors are widely ...

Because of the widespread use of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the efficiency of a synchronous buck converter operating in this mode is well understood. However, relatively few designers understand ...

Energy efficiency is one of the most misunderstood aspects of fractional horsepower motors and gearmotors. It normally does not receive much attention; however, efficiency can be critically important ...

For most of solar’s modern history, system performance modeling followed a simple rule: when the sun is shining, solar produces. Inverters operated near their optimal power range, exported excess ...

While there is no standard method for graphically representing fan-performance data, this article will cover what one is most likely to see. April 1, 2021 During the mid-1990s, Ron Michael, regional ...

Learning curves graphically portray the costs and benefits of experience when performing routine or repetitive tasks. Also known as experience curves, cost curves, efficiency curves, and productivity ...

With the arrival of the latest standardized energy efficiency benchmark from SPEC, we have a good way to measure server efficiency. In light of the recent controversy over flawed energy efficiency ...
