The greater functionality and new monitoring features of today's power supplies require more sophisticated control and communications. But as complexity and intelligence grow, so does the difficulty ...

The miniature high-voltage dBC (digital bias controller)-series modules are particularly well suited for controlling avalanche photodiodes and fast PIN photodiodes. We have three versions available: • ...

Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

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).

The distribution system, a key subset of the overall electric grid, provides power to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Voltage and reactive power management and control have been done ...
