A team of researchers in the U.S. and Europe is poised to globally integrate electrical grids in a way that resonates with the creation of the internet more than 50 years ago. The group convenes at ...

Before the electric GMC Hummer could do its famous CrabWalk driving diagonally on roads, the Hummer was doing it inside a rather modest lab, tucked away in the corner of the 30,000 square-foot ...

Lineman’s Reference – XFMR Lab is a fully functional transformer lab simulator for mobile devices. The XFMR Lab was created solely by a journeyman lineman and will help users to master their ...

Typical 3D thermal simulation of electronics components assumes that all the power consumption the data sheets define is dissipated in the semiconductor. In the case of high current power modules, ...

LENOX — They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. At the Electric Power Research Institute’s Transmission and Distribution Laboratory, lightning strikes as many times as it likes — just ...

Nothing is worse for a design team than a chip that fails to work in the bringup lab. Electrical problems are historically a major cause of such failures. Power leaks, power-ground DC paths, missing ...

Electric (plasma) propulsion devices have been used for applications such as station-keeping and orbit transfer, in place of chemical rockets, because they provide a higher specific impulse. Detailed ...
