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 ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an important component in most modern automation and process control systems today. It's also susceptible to lightning-induced transients. To verify the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
