By Markus Beck, Sensata Technologies. In advanced battery systems, the quality of the power electronics helps determine the quality of the final product, its level of functionality, and its reliability. This is emphasized in the latest battery power management and charging systems that use wide-bandgap semiconductors and improved power topologies. In such advanced electronics, if the safety systems do not work quickly and reliably, the entire battery system can suffer a catastrophic failure that

CO2 from the global power sector fell by the highest level in three decades last year, but the shift towards clean energy sources is still far too slow, research suggests. Carbon emissions from the global power sector fell by two per cent in 2019, the biggest fall since at least 1990, and yet the goals set by the Paris Agreement remain at risk of being missed by a huge margin unless there is a far more rapid shift towards cleaner energy sources.

The oil markets have been anticipating a big impact on oil demand from the coronavirus outbreak. That’s why we have seen a 30% drop in the price of crude oil since the beginning of January. But we now have some indication of just how much oil demand has been impacted: It’s the largest quarterly demand drop we have ever seen. Those are the findings from the latest assessment by the IHS Markit Crude Oil Market Service.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
