Joining the DER Revolution as AutoGrid’s New VP of VPPs

AutoGrid

Put simply, a VPP is an aggregated network of distributed energy resources (DERs) that can be remotely controlled and operated to balance the supply and demand of electricity on the grid. A bit complex for a 9-year-old, but solving this need is critical as electricity supply and demand have become extremely complex and much harder to manage.

Thermally conductive adhesives for next generation cell-to-pack configurations

Charged

One immediate route to achieving these goals is the elimination of the housings of battery modules and bonding individual cells directly to the cooling plate, a strategy known as “cell-to-pack” [1-3]. Both gap fillers, with the aid of a liquid-cooled plate, help regulate the temperature of the modules to ensure safe and efficient performance.

For instance, a 2016 DXC Technology white paper stated data centers worldwide account for 2% of the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). On top of this, and as mentioned, Doteasy’s data centers are maintained using energy-efficient water-cooled chillers, which consume less energy and have greater longevity than air-chilled coolers.

The second approach is to use thermally conductive materials that can evacuate heat from the cells to a cooling system. From heat insulation to thermal conductivity, leveraging the right material is what can make or break your battery back when put in demanding conditions. Polyurethanes, epoxy or silicones? A comparative table.

How to ensure EV traction motor magnets aren’t pushed beyond their operating limits

Charged

Ideally, engineers would like an EV motor that is designed to meet the peak torque demand, but doing so would require a motor that’s large, heavy, and expensive—a trifecta of undesirable qualities for an EV powertrain. Scenario 1: Peak demand. Scenario 2: Thermal and peak demand. Demagnetization. Demagnetization analysis. “An

Battery testing with bidirectional laboratory power supplies: Learn about the advantages of the EA-PSB 10000

Charged

In our white paper, we explain how you can benefit from the features of a bidirectional power supply for such tests. In addition, the heat generation typical of electronic loads is eliminated, so users do not need extra cooling for the EA-PSB 10000. For further reading, we recommend our associated white paper.
