Given marching orders by the U.S. Energy Dept. to boost artificial intelligence sector growth, independent agency Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) now must absorb nearly 200 diverging power ...

Across the U.S., new AI-driven data centers are causing a significant increase in power demand. Carbon Direct projects that data center capacity in the U.S. will grow from roughly 25 GW in 2024 to 120 ...

Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...

THE Department of Energy (DOE) on Monday released a new policy that introduced a unified categorization of power generation resources meant to enhance the sufficiency of generation and ensure the ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

The operating profiles of traditional generators has changed to manage the variability of renewable resources. Several critical processes were not engineered to manage these highly variable operating ...

In 2018, data center power consumption as a whole reached a total of 205 TWh, almost 1% of the global electricity supply, 1 solidifying their fundamental role in the worldwide network infrastructure ...

Imagine that you have a voltage source in series with some source resistance feeding power to a variable load. The relationship between load voltage, load current, and cell current can be drawn as ...

Many microcontrollers feature a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) output that can be low-pass filtered to produce a variable dc voltage. Without additional circuitry, however, this technique is limited to ...

Chillers have typically been thought of as providing cold water to cooling coils located in a variety of air-handling systems throughout a building. However, there are certain building owners and ...
