The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) is a non-profit organization that collects shipments data directly from its 42 semiconductor company members, and provides market analysis and reports back to its membership. Integrated device manufacturers (IDM) and fabless semiconductor companies who design and market semiconductors, either discrete or integrated circuits, are eligible for membership with WSTS. Semiconductor contract manufacturers, such as a foundry, may obtain a subscription for reports directly with WSTS. Non-semiconductor manufacturers can subscribe for reports through direct subscription with one of their 5 regional distribution channels provided by regional semiconductor industry associations. For example, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), based in the United States, is the distribution channel for the Americas. The SIA also utilizes statistics provided by WSTS in some of their public reports and news releases [1].

The evolution of advanced inverter-based resources (IBR) is closely coupled with the growth of their applications in electric power networks. Most applications of inverters during this transition were grid-following (GFL) inverters. As IBRs gradually displaced rotating synchronous generators in electric power grid applications, issues such as the behavior of low-inertia grids, local needs for voltage support, and ride-though requirements led to the first interconnection requirements. The initial DER standard, IEEE Std 1547-2003, had to be adapted to the new context and led to the revised standard, IEEE Std 1547–2018 and later the IEEE Std 2800–2022 for transmission IBR systems. In this article, the various inverter operating modes and functions of modern inverters are described. A focus on the comparison of GFL and grid-forming (GFM) inverters based on a more comprehensive white paper developed by the SCC-21 Task Force on Advanced Inverters supporting industry standards is needed in the next few years to reduce system-wide IBR events on the electric system.

This article describes the objectives and key results from a feasibility study about using hydrogen (H2) generation and storage in a co-firing project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) named H2 Orange. The work includes a conceptual design, including a technoeconomic study, technology gap assessment, maturation plan, and commercialization plan of a nominal 50-megawatt hours (MWh) electrolysis-based hydrogen energy storage system. The project investigated optimal sizing, design, and integration of a hydrogen energy storage system with an existing 14.3-megawatt (MW) gas turbine supplying both electricity and thermal power at the Clemson University combined heat and power (CHP) plant. It is anticipated that the integration of H2 storage with CHP will be able to provide the Clemson campus with backup capability (power and steam) that includes on-site solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays and separate battery energy storage. Power electronic conversion technologies are of key relevance to hydrogen storage for decarbonizing fossil fuel generators at all levels of this project.

The past years have seen a rapid increase in the deployment of large-scale wind power plants (WPPs) in transmission grids. The dynamic interactions between wind turbines (WTs), power transmission cables, and other electrical infrastructure of WPPs pose challenges to the stability and quality of electricity supply, particularly under diverse grid conditions. The interactions tend to be worsened with longer transmission cables [1]. A harmonic instability issue that features a 451 Hz resonance is manifested in an offshore WPP located in the North Sea [2]. During a submarine cable outage, an offshore WPP situated in England encountered instability due to sub-synchronous resonance at around 8.5 Hz [3].

The past decade has witnessed increasing migration from silicon (Si) to silicon carbide (SiC) in power electronics applications. This is due to the unique advantages of SiC over Si counterparts, like higher breakdown field, higher band gap, and higher thermal conductivity [1], [2]. Therefore, SiC devices can operate at faster switching frequencies, higher power density, and with exceptional thermal performance. However, as this technology progressively becomes mature, questions still arise regarding its long-term reliability. These questions can be answered proactively using accelerated lifetime tests (ALTs). ALTs accelerate the aging mechanisms by amplifying the thermal and electrical stresses. The data from ALTs serve a crucial function for evaluating the sustained reliability of SiC MOSFETs through assessment of their lifespan, identification of breakdown causes, and continuous monitoring of their performance. This article introduces an ac power cycling test setup for SiC MOSFETs and discusses the correlation of aging precursors to different failure mechanisms. Also, the study identifies and presents patterns of common precursor shifts.
