In the depths of the 1970s oil crisis, French prime minister Pierre Messmer saw an opportunity to transform his country’s energy supply. A demolition crew brought both down on an overcast day in early 2020. The event was abrupt and unceremonious, its time kept secret to prevent crowds from gathering amidst the first wave of Covid-19.

Jenkins: Energy systems became globalized in the middle of the 20th century and then encountered global supply shocks, like the oil embargoes of the ’70s. Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility.

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. While lithium isn’t exactly in short supply, extracting it from the ground exacts a huge environmental cost.

Any power converter for EV applications (charger, inverter, DC/DC converter, etc) that is either supplied by the mains or a >48 V battery pack will pretty much require strict isolation between its power (high-voltage) and control (low-voltage) circuits.

Bad things happen when demand outstrips supply.

In 2009, we forecast that a breakthrough in hydrogen fuel cells could not be expected before the year 2020. In a PEM fuel cell, hydrogen is supplied to the anode, where it is broken down into protons and electrons. Meanwhile, outside the stack the electrons supply the electrical power. We are still convinced of this.
