advantages of using film capacitors
in emerging applications, e.g., EVs,
alternative energy power conversion
and inverters, and motor drives. Why
aluminum electrolytics are still important when sheer energy storage
density is the main requirement is
discussed in this article.

In the "Happenings" column, contributing writer Tom Keim investigates
the evolution of electrolytics and film
capacitors, while Deepak Divan's "Entrepreneur Viewpoint" column conveys an entrepreneurial message, as

In the "Exper t View" column,
Magnus Callavik of ABB presents
new methods for improving grid resilience and limiting the spread of
blackouts and suggests provisions
for the faster recovery of grids. His
article shows that grid resiliency
can be improved with the use of
subtransmission high-voltage dc interties for novel emergency power
control of split networks.
