Scientists in the Emirates have conceived a new space vector pulse width modulation method that reportedly reduces switching losses and increase efficiency in three-phase photovoltaic inverters. The ...

More inverters are coming to the end of their life, and needing replacement, as the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry matures. Inverter failures usually occur on systems that are 10-plus years old. At ...

Case study examines a common PV inverter failure that can drive uncommon issues in the field — namely, damage to the AC protection equipment from DC fault currents for short periods during transformer ...

The 2012 Defense Energy Technology Challenge awarded Ideal Power Converters (IPC) the top prize for its 3-Port Photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Converter. DoD issued the Challenge to seek new innovative ...
