In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).

Spanish grid operator Red Eléctrica de España (REE) said this week that it has authorized 24 renewable energy facilities to provide dynamic voltage control services under Operational Program 7.4 (OP 7 ...

Why ultra-low-power micros are a challenge to design. How power management works in NXP’s MXC L family. I talked with Jeff Steinheider, General Manager of Industrial Edge Processing at NXP, about this ...

The SC471(A) and SC475A synchronous, pulse-width modulation buck controllers squeeze the controller, driver, and voltage transition switches into 3 mm x 3 mm packages. The integrated ...

Spain’s transmission system operator REE has alerted regulators to sudden voltage fluctuations in the mainland grid, citing abrupt schedule changes in renewable generation and the response time of ...

Electricity transmission network operators are being tasked with adding more renewable energy resources to the power grid. The use of static VAR compensators (SVCs) is growing as a means to control ...

Xcel Energy uses flexible static VAR compensator topology to adapt to changing network conditions in New Mexico for more stability and voltage control. China Draw’s 115-kV, 30-MVAR C-type filter. In ...

It is necessary to reduce energy consumption in circuit operations toachieve longer battery life in mobile devices. One new energy reductionscheme is to combine dynamic voltage and frequency scaling ...

Reducing power consumption in portable equipment continues to drive innovation across all areas of IC design and will continue to do so well past the day when systems can operate solely on the power ...
