Storms and typhoons are often regarded as nothing more than disasters. They take away lives and destroy property everywhere they go. With the invention of the world’s first typhoon wind turbine, this perception is perhaps about to change. Atsushi Shimizu, an engineer from Japan, has invented the technology that harnesses…
World Of Renewables Network – SMA is the first inverter manufacturer to complete functional and safety testing with UL according to the UL 1741 SA (Supplement A) draft standard, which identifies inverter functions required for optimal grid stability. To achieve that, SMA enhanced the smart-inverter capabilities of its popular Sunny…
