Power & Energy Management

Several years ago no one would have believed that such an area as pedestrian a topic as power would ever be such a hot topic. In today’s energy dependent world the areas of alternative energy such as wind, solar, bio mass, fuel cells and hybrid combinations drive talk at the water cooler and Wall Street. Everyone is racing for solutions that can become deployed at a cost effective price. In order to field this type of solution set several types of technology need to be evaluated. They are a combination of hardware and software and can be both at the chip and board set level. Many papers and posts address this area. See: http://greenprofs.com/
