PJM's new advanced control center
PJM Interconnection just switched over to new advanced technology systems to run the power grid and wholesale power markets. The new systems are part of the Advanced Control Center (AC2) program that equipped PJM with state-of-the-art control centers - each fully functional and able to run the system independently if needed. PJM's $200 million AC2 program improves the reliability of the grid and market operations by replacing aging legacy systems with state-of-the-art technology. PJM says it is the only grid operator in North America, and one of the few worldwide, to have dual primary control centers. The AC2 program reduces risk because the two fully staffed primary control centers better ensure uninterrupted operation of markets and grid control if functionality were lost at either center.

TI introduces boost charger IC for nano power energy harvesting .
Texas Instruments launched its next generation of power management integrated circuits (ICs) for energy harvesting. TI says the highly efficient boost charger for nano (ultra low) power energy harvesting manages the microwatts to milliwatts of power generated from a number of sources, such as solar, thermoelectric, electromagnetic and vibration. It stores the extracted energy in various storage elements, including Li-ion batteries and super capacitors. Read more about the boost charger >>
