Integrated passives have a lot going for them. They take up less space on a PCB, they simplify design and they can, with the right processes shrink circuit tolerances thanks to closer component matching. The downside is that, as with semiconductors, volume is everything.

Wind turbines can present a unique challenge for maintenance teams. Due to the turbine height and remote location, often in areas of high elevation, wind turbines are at heightened risk of receiving lightning strikes, particularly on the blades. Lightning produces an electromagnetic field that can damage conducting elements inside the blade, such as sensors or beacons and so for this reason turbines need protection from the direct and indirect effects that lightning current has on these structures. The lightning protection system for wind turbine blades usually consists of a metallic conductor cable that drives the current from the extreme of the blade to the root. Over time, this cable could become damaged, increasing the risk of loss of function of the turbine, leading to knock on effects on energy production and revenue.
