Yokogawa Test & Measurement will release the WT1500 precision power analyzer with a 2,000 VDC direct input, a first for the company's WT series. The product will be available on Aug. 19. The instrument packs four power channels and four motor evaluation channels into a 19-inch, 2U chassis roughly 88mm high.

Mean Well has released the NSP-2400 Series, a new 2400 W AC-DC high-reliability enclosed power supply, expanding its existing NSP family. The primary advancement of this unit is its highly compact size coupled with robust thermal and power delivery capabilities, marking a significant step forward for equipment miniaturization in industrial automation, renewable energy, and medical applications. Traditional enclosed power supplies of this wattage often consume significant chassis space.

Momentum is building in advanced nuclear in three areas: fusion manufacturing, military microreactors, and AI-assisted reactor development. Recent developments focus on turning promising reactor concepts into commercial systems by expanding manufacturing capacity, advancing deployment, and slashing the massive time and cost it takes to design and license new nuclear plants.

Reliable power is necessary in all ventures, from power distribution to electric vehicles to outer space ventures, and deals and collaborations often provide momentum to accomplish larger goals. In recent developments, Eaton will work with the U.S. Air Force in a $7 million deal to use quantum computing for grid security. In Australia, Landis+Gyr has partnered with two software companies to enhance its system for grid analysis and operations.

This article is published by EEPower as part of an exclusive digital content partnership with Bodo’s Power Systems. Power delivery has become a critical design challenge in AI data centers. As GPU power requirements continue to increase, designers face growing demands to improve power conversion efficiency while reducing converter size and thermal losses.

Three-phase power systems are widely used in inverter-fed industrial motor drives, power conversion stages, renewable-energy inverters, and other high-power electronic applications. Accurate characterization of these systems is critical for assessing conversion efficiency, power quality, and dynamic electrical behavior, especially as modern SiC- and GaN-based power electronics operate at higher switching frequencies with faster dv/dt and di/dt transients.

Under his leadership, Airengy is advancing its proprietary compressed air energy storage technology, while expanding its energy infrastructure activities across Israel and Europe.

Ask most people to imagine energy storage, and they'll picture a battery: a sealed box of lithium, cobalt, and nickel, charging and discharging in a rhythm measured in hours. That picture captures much of what the grid needs today, but it doesn't capture all of it. Some of the most valuable storage the energy transition now requires must hold power for weeks or months, not hours—and for that job, the more interesting answer might be sitting a kilometer underground, in a cavity carved out of salt.

Pickering Interfaces has announced what it’s calling its highest-capacity switching product to date, the 60-191 LXI high-current and sense single-pole single-throw (SPST) switching family. Designed to route signals up to 80 A and 300 V, the new hardware streamlines the distribution, sequencing, and overall management of multiple high-current power supplies within automated test systems.

Zoox, the Amazon-owned autonomous robotaxi, will begin commercial operations in Las Vegas in September. This will mark Zoox's first commercial launch, after several demonstration and trial runs in several cities. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has granted Zoox its first-ever commercial exemption to operate a purpose-built autonomous robotaxi, allowing the company to charge fares.
