Paul Golata, Mouser Electronics 3 Saving Power for the Future | ADI Energy Storage Systems Energy is the power created through the utilization of physical or chemical resources. Society uses energy to provide light, heat, and AC, and to run machines. Once obtained, this energy should be able to be stored. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are the electrical equivalent of fuel tanks for petroleum or storage warehouses for coal. The ESS market in the next 25 years is expected to multiply by a factor of 100 (10 2 ). ESS is a critical element for leveraging intermittent renewable and distributed generation technologies. It allows solar and wind power to better integrate with the grid, and it can get used throughout the residential and industrial landscape. For example, houses might employ photovoltaic (PV) inverters with storage batteries. These save and use the energy within the home, which could get used to charge a vehicle overnight with electricity produced by the sun during the day. ESS employed in industrial and utility-scale implementation can regulate PV and wind sources for energy arbitrage. Off-grid installations with ESS enables micro-grids to be self-sufficient. Today's energy infrastructure is undergoing rapid change, and this presents a range of technical challenges for system architects. Analog Devices' (ADI) digital and signal processing technology is powering the next generation of smart grid energy infrastructure. ADI enables customers to interpret the physical condition of electrical grids worldwide by offering technologies that can sense, measure, and connect with big data platforms. From renewable generation to grid management to energy metering, ADI helps engineers design intelligent, efficient systems. ADI offers a wide range of signal chain solutions for battery management systems (BMS), charging, Paul Golata joined Mouser Electronics in 2011. As a Senior Technology Specialist, Paul contributes to Mouser's success through driving strategic leadership, tactical execution, and the overall product-line and marketing directions for advanced technology related products. He provides design engineers with the latest information and trends in electrical engineering by delivering unique and valuable technical content that facilitates and enhances Mouser Electronics as the preferred distributor of choice. Before joining Mouser Electronics, Paul served in various manufacturing, marketing, and sales related roles for Hughes Aircraft Company, Melles Griot, Piper Jaffray, Balzers Optics, JDSU, and Arrow Electronics. He holds a BSEET from the DeVry Institute of Technology (Chicago, IL); an MBA from Pepperdine University (Malibu, CA); an MDiv w/BL from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Fort Worth, TX); and a PhD from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Fort Worth, TX). Foreword and power conversion. ADI provides products for energy storage applications that can get leveraged in renewable generation systems, including precision sensors, digital isolators, and control processors.
