This article proposes a 10kW string inverter based on GaN field-effect transistors (FETs). We will also explore the benefits of GaN and highlight the advantages of building such a system for residential solar applications.
[pdf] A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a device or circuitry that changes (DC) to (AC). The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC. Inverter signal outputs that aim to replicate mains power are commonly 50 or 60 Hz at 120 or 240 VAC to match standard power line frequencies and voltage. In cases where the output needs to be further processed or stepped up, the output frequency may be much higher for transformer efficiencies.
[pdf] Welcome to Mozambique’s energy paradox. But here’s the kicker – a cutting-edge phase change energy storage tank project in Maputo is turning up the heat on traditional power solutions. Let’s unpack why this tech has engineers buzzing and how it could rewrite Africa’s renewable energy playbook.
