Excerpts from Tesla’s Chief Technology Officer JB Straubel’s recent presentations about the integration of energy storage and electric vehicles into the grid, leads us to believe that Tesla Motors is ...

Regardless of the system architecture, the circuit design, or the power levels involved, transient load current step testing is a critical aspect of power-system design, test, and verification.

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

Read the introduction to this series in Part 1, and the conclusion in Part 3, which covers stability. This is Part 2 of a three-part series which discusses how to properly test a DC/DC power supply to ...

As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...
