Smart Energy (1/2): Reaching highest energy efficiency
The rising expectations in terms of sustainability are heavily impacting the electronics sector. It is clear that building a smart sustainable future will require electrifying virtually all aspects of the economy. With demand for power rising year after year across applications, that won’t be easy. To succeed, we’ll have to harness efficiency gains wherever they are available. That’s why we made efficiency the focus of this first episode in our smart energy series. So stay with us and learn why high-power, high-frequency technology is generating so much interest and why it could be a game-changer in optimizing energy management in power generation, transportation systems, and urban centers. We’ll also explore technological hurdles we’ve had to overcome to get to where we are today and venture into the unchartered terrain of future challenges and opportunities.
Our guests:
- Cathal Sheehan, Senior Technical Market Manager at Bourns
