To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...

This paper presents the Plug-Load Appliance Identification Dataset (PLAID), a labelled dataset containing records of the electrical voltage and current of domestic electrical appliances obtained at a ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

The increasing demand for efficient energy management in smart grids has led to the development of various Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) techniques. These aim to disaggregate energy consumption ...

This article is adapted from a presentation at TestConX, March 5-8, 2023, Mesa, AZ. A power-delivery network (PDN), also called a power-distribution network, is a localized network that delivers power ...

Every kilowatt-hour of electricity generated in the United States must travel through a web of wires before it reaches a home ...

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...

There are two main types of electrical current that flow through your home: Alternating and direct. The vast majority of devices around you are powered by alternating current. By allowing electrons to ...

The course is focused on current-mode control techniques, which are very frequently applied in practical realizations of switched-mode. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, ...
