Background​ With the rising of living standard, people have new requirements of security, intelligence, comfort, beauty, and entertainment in housing. Smart home is the one to meet these demands. Based on the house, smart home integrates the facilities related to family living by technologies of generic cabling, internet communication, security, automation, and audio & video to improve the living circumstance and save energy at the same time. The power supply system is the core of these facilities and the foundation to ensure each control system well running. smart home structure We can get a clear idea that smart home is consisted of lights, power socket control system, background music system, electronic door and curtain, audio-visual system, security system, generic cabling system, etc. Because of the compact of the residential houses, the controllers of these systems have the general character- compact size, as small as the common power socket. Therefore, the power...

The demand for renewable energy is on the rise. Renewable energy, depends on sources other than fossil fuels to generate power, does not drain our world of critical resources, and does not adversely affect the environment. The primary focus of commercially available new energy technology right now is solar photovoltaic(PV) power generation, which harnesses the energy of the sun and converts it into usable electricity. Figure 1 is a typical solar pv power supply  system. In this system, solar PV arrays generate electricity from sunlight, ac to dc power conversion  is converted from DC to AC using an inverter, then AC electricity is fed into the grid for home or business, or is used to charge the batteries by the power conversion system (also known as energy storage bi-directional inverter). The power conversion system supplies power based on the supply-demand balance of electricity. In a centralized or distributed electricity generation system network, a centralized or...

The power generation industry is rapidly shifting its focus from more traditional sources of power and toward what is collectively known as new energy. New energy, also known as renewable energy, depends on sources other than fossil fuels to generate power, does not drain our world of critical resources, and does not adversely affect the environment. The sources used in connection with new energy include more familiar methods such as wind power, as well as more recent approaches such as solar. The primary focus of commercially available new energy technology right now is photovoltaic power generation, which harnesses the energy of the sun and converts it into usable electricity. Power Generation Systems for New Energy A smart grid system can be broadly divided into generators, transmission, substation, distribution, and monitor systems. An automated power grid can monitor and control each grid node, ensuring a two-way flow of information and electricity between all of the node...

IoT, or the Internet of Things, is the technology that has allowed everyday objects to connect to the Internet (and to each other) in order to send and receive information. IoT is what allows you to unlock your front door from your smartphone or adjust the temperature of your home from anywhere. We refer to these devices as “smart devices” (smart locks or smart thermostats) because their ability to send and receive data allows them to make intelligent decisions and be controlled without a physical presence. The Growing IoT Industry Experts predict that there will be 75.44 billion connected devices worldwide by 2025, and the impending introduction of 5G technology will no doubt further increase the demand for IoT-enabled devices. The IoT market itself, which includes hardware, systems integration, software, telecom and data services, is expected to reach $520 billion in 2021, which is more than double the amount spent in 2016. According to Gartner, the sensor market is expected t...

When the average consumer thinks of intelligent transportation, they might envision self-driving vehicles dodging obstacles and choosing efficient traffic routes. While that certainly is part of intelligent transportation, there are other critical systems and modules involved that are just as vital but far less recognized. One of the most important systems within automotive applications involves intelligent power management found in HEV (hybrid electric vehicles) and EV (electric vehicles). According to Bloomberg, 57% of all passenger vehicle sales will be electric by 2040 -- making the development and implementation of efficient, compact, reliable power management systems extremely important. In short, power supply solutions are critical for the future of the HEV/EV industry. Intelligent Power Management An effective battery management system (BMS) in any HEV/EV application involves circuits that are responsible for monitoring both the charging and discharging of batteries, as ...

Dc Dc Converter for Solar Applications : As the shift to new energy continues and the need for improving the utilization efficiency of energy grows, the proportion of solar photovoltaic power generation systems in the power grid is gradually increasing. How to ensure the reliability and safety of the power supply draws a big challenge for the Power Grid. Energy storage systems not only ensure the stability and reliability of the solar PV system, but also brings an effective way to solve dynamic power quality problems such as voltage pulses, inrush currents, voltage dips, and momentary power interruptions. In energy storage systems, batteries are generally installed in the battery container according to the international standards, which consists of batteries, battery series control unit(BCU), HVAC, fire suppression system, etc. MORNSUN is always providing you with the diverse up-to-date power solutions for the energy storage industry. Check out below the BCU Power Solution for...

The latest approach to wireless smart grid distribution -- 5th Generation wireless -- means much more than just faster video streaming on smart devices. As this revolutionary new approach, more commonly referred to as 5G, begins replacing 4G, there is an increasing demand for efficient, compact power solutions for both the infrastructure that supports it and the applications that interact with it. What Is 5G Wireless? 5G is best described as the next-generation wireless technology that further enhances communication between IoT (Internet of Things) devices. This communications protocol, which is based on the IEEE 802.11ac wireless networking standard, promises internet access speeds up to three times faster than 4G. Over the next 15 years, 5G is expected to contribute $2.2 trillion to the global economy, according to a report by Business Insider. The infrastructure market alone, which is going to undergo major changes in order to be 5G compatible, is expected to be worth almost $42 bi...

Switching power supplies are widely used in medical devices, such as ventilator, mask machine, PCR nucleic acid detector, body temperature detector, multi-parameter monitor, x ray, CT/PET, blood analyzer, heart-lung machines and diagnostic devices, etc. X ray machine power supply is one of the most popular medical power supplies. Follow these tips to select the most suitable safe, low leakage current, reliable insulation and good EMC performance power supplies for the "heart" of the medical device. Keywords: Medical device, Medical power supply, Ventilator Types of Medical Applications Medical device not only needs to consider operator protection, such as doctor and nurse, but also patient protection. The requirements of the operator and the patient protection are different. Since the health state of a patient and operator is different and the patient normally is in a weaker state, thus a higher level of protection is required for the patient. Medical device is divide...
