Don’t have a node for your solar plant? Connect it to the railway!
Railway operators can now feasibly connect solar plants to traction substations, claims a consortium that is now working on a similar demonstration project in the U.K. Almost all of the 30 kW installation’s output will be used to move trains, but in the future storage could come into the picture for larger “railway-connected” solar power projects, says 10:10, the U.K.-based climate change charity that developed the pilot.

New 650 V MOSFET for silicon carbide inverters
CREE has actually created a brand-new MOSFET that could be appropriate for silicon-carbide-based string inverters over 10 kW in dimension. The U.S. producer states changing losses are 20% reduced with the brand-new transistor than with silicon carbide MOSFETs, and also declares that the item minimizes transmission losses by 50%, to use prospective power-density development of 300%.
