Electric utility engineers designing new transmission and distribution (T&D) systems and evaluating existing systems have relied on sophisticated software programs that can simulate transients. Now ...

Transients are a nuisance for power system designers that can hamper performance and in the worst case cause damage to equipment. A new book, Power System Transients: Theory and Applications, is ...

Transient power is becoming much more problematic at 10/7nm, adding yet another level of complexity for design teams already wrestling with power issues caused by leakage, a variety of power ...

We've all heard the term “transient” used in discussions of possible power quality problems, yet we still seem to have a lack of understanding of what a transient truly is. There is no precise ...

A variety of mix-and-match modules allows designers to adapt to multiple energy sources and load requirements for power subsystem targeting pulsed-RF applications that demand high transient response ...

Movellus recently announced a new on-chip sensor that detects power transients on a nanosecond scale. The new IP provides transistor-level power delivery analytics that may improve the design and ...

Using the fast dynamic load described in this Design Idea to test the transient response of a power system can reveal many critical operating characteristics. The voltage deviation resulting from a ...

This article explains the switching behavior of power MOSFETs in practical application circuits and shows the reader/designer how to choose the right device for the application using the ...

Silicon power-saving techniques are helping to reduce the power required by data centers and other high-intensity computing environments, but they’ve also added a significant challenge for design ...

How optical isolation works. Source: B&B Electronics. Some of you may know that I moonlight as the guitar player in a hard-edged blues/rock band. Playing at the various clubs around town, I run into ...

The consideration of power supplies has become critical to the success of converting analog instrumentation and control systems to digital control systems (DCSs). Careful planning is particularly ...
