Renewable energy has transitioned from an emerging technology area to a fundamental factor in the design of components and systems. Mouser's resource center provides engineers with information on the electronics and infrastructure needed to achieve reliable, sustainable, and scalable energy. It covers areas such as energy storage, smart grids, sensors, power electronics, IoT, and AI.
New forms of energy rely on an interconnected ecosystem of technologies working together. From next-generation solar cells to self-powered IoT devices, this ecosystem is becoming increasingly decentralized. Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells could enable more efficient and versatile renewable generation, while decentralized power grids facilitate the integration of generated energy into homes, businesses, and local systems. At the device level, energy harvesting takes this transformation a step further by enabling IoT sensors to capture energy from sources such as light, heat, and vibrations. Together, these technologies demonstrate how energy generation and management are becoming increasingly localized to where it is truly needed.
Mouser's technical team and its partner manufacturers regularly update the resource center with articles, blog posts, ebooks, and new products for alternative energy solutions from leading manufacturers. These resources help engineers understand where energy technology is headed and how emerging systems can lead to scalable, real-world solutions.
Mouser stocks the industry's broadest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the latest solutions for alternative energy applications. Below are some examples of new products:
The e-peas AEM13921 ultra-efficient PMIC energy manager collects and manages energy from various sources, including photovoltaics, RF, vibration, and pulse. This PMIC captures, stores, and supplies energy for low-power IoT applications, smart buildings, and industrial sensors.
The TE Connectivity HC-STAK 35 high-voltage interconnect system transmits high-voltage power between batteries, inverters, motors, and power distribution systems, while reducing resistance and power loss in electric and hybrid vehicle architectures.
The Infineon Technologies TLE9012DQU IC monitors and balances lithium-ion battery cells by measuring voltage and temperature. It also coordinates cell balancing, enabling optimized battery performance and reliability in electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
Schneider Electric's Altivar™ ATV320 solar variable speed drives (VSDs) convert and manage solar energy to directly power motors in applications such as pumping and irrigation. They also switch to grid power when available solar energy is insufficient to meet demand.
