As the use of this renewable energy source becomes more distributed, there are fewer and fewer ideal roof tops or other open spaces for installation. In this case, the performance of each module may vary simply do to variable irradiance even though the actual modules performance may be well matched.  In this presentation will present the problems that are part of the wider adoption of solar and propose different solutions that optimize the captured energy.  Such applications as monitors, optimisers, and micro-inverters are areas that will be covered.</description><pubdate>20/04/2011</pubdate></item><item><title>Training: Do you speak PLC, OFDM, SFSK or DALI?

This presentation will give a short overview on Power Line Communication history, standards and requirements. With the introduction of Piccolo/Concerto MCUs and dedicated Analog Front Ends TI delivers a solution for these PLC applications; the PLC EVM enables customers to enhance the time to market for their designs. Promoting flexible Microcontroller vs. chipset solutions is one key element; but as power, interfaces and drivers are in every PLC Modem we will focus on all key devices.           </description><pubdate>20/04/2011</pubdate></item><item><title>Training: Intro to Motors &amp; Motor Control (Parts 4)</title><link>/power-electronics-videos/training-intro-to-motors-motor-control-parts-4/33275/</link><description>Part 4 of 6 - PMS Motors: This session will talk about the different types of motors used in the industry; DC, Brushless DC, Steppers, Permanent Magnet Synchronous, and AC Induction. To gather a better understanding of motors, differences of these motors with advantages and disadvantages of each will be shown. Basic motor drive circuits will be discussed from full H-Bridge drive to half-bridge for 3-phase motors. Other drive concepts such as 6-step commutation along with drive issues such as current recirculation will be discussed. Field Oriented Control will also be discussed and how it has progressed with improving technology. This session will end with how to implement a motor control application using TI solutions from analogue products, digital controllers and software to precisely control the position, velocity and torque of mechanical drives.</description><pubdate>20/04/2011</pubdate></item><item><title>Training: Intro to Motors &amp; Motor Control (Parts 5)</title><link>/power-electronics-videos/training-intro-to-motors-motor-control-parts-5/33276/</link><description>Part 5 of 6 - AC Induction: This session will talk about the different types of motors used in the industry; DC, Brushless DC, Steppers, Permanent Magnet Synchronous, and AC Induction.
