Rugged and reliable connectivity solutions are essential components in energy storage systems. In this post, we highlight how connector solutions support the latest energy storage technologies.

The Chemistry Behind Thin Film Solar Cells

On August 31, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Industrial, Power by Liam Critchley

The distinct types of thin film solar cells have different working principles based on their fundamental chemistry. All thin film solar cells work differently from conventional inorganic solar cells, and even though their efficiencies are not as high, they have other benefits.

Using 2D Materials to Create Water Energy-Harvesting Devices

On July 29, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Power by Liam Critchley

Designers can use 2D materials to develop different water-harvesting applications beyond the mainstream tidal and hydroelectric power harvesting process. These include harvesting energy from salinity gradients where water bodies meet and harvesting energy from rainfall and other water motions.

2D Materials in Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs)

On July 19, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Industrial, IoT, Low Power, Medical, Power by Liam Critchley

The inherent thinness, active surface, and mechanical properties of 2D materials have the potential to create more efficient and longer-lasting TENG devices for powering small-scale electronics.

Power Integration for Renewable Energy Efficiency

On June 24, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Power by Adam Kimmel

Integrating renewable energy sources can reduce emissions, improve asset utilization, and add resiliency and reliability to energy production. But society will need multiple sources to deliver consistent, high-quality, cost-effective power.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell vs. Battery for the Connected Car

On March 17, 2022 in All, Automotive, Power by Adam Kimmel

Consumers demand more from their connected cars. This requires power. Which power source will win the upcoming grid war? Batteries or hydrogen fuel cells?

A Bit About Connecting Qubits: Quantum Computing

On October 23, 2020 in All, Connectors by Paul Golata

A new computing revolution is underway–a computational breakthrough well beyond the current boundaries imposed by a binary system. This revolution is quantum computing, which replaces bits with quantum bits.

Moving from Smart to Brilliant Energy

On October 14, 2020 in All, General, IoT, Low Power, Power, Sensors by Jon Gabay

Making energy use more efficient on a device is common. Doing it with a distributed random needs-based environment is more difficult. Appliances that can work together to assure peak-demand load conformity will have an advantage over those that don’t.

Going Off-Grid Efficiently With MicroGrids

On August 24, 2020 in All, Automotive, Energy Harvesting, Industrial, Lighting by Paul Lee

Microgrids are becoming popular for environmental and dollar cost savings. However, adoption is dependent on efficient power conversion electronics enabled by the increasing use of wide bandgap semiconductors.
