Detection Of Electric Vehicles And Photovoltaic Systems In Smart Meter Data
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 12 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

In the course of the switch to renewable energy sources, there is a shift from a few large energy sources (power plants) to a large number of small, distributed energy sources (e.g., photovoltaic systems) and energy storage devices (e.g., electric vehicles). This results in the need to know and identify these energy sources and sinks as soon as new devices are installed, in order to ensure grid... » read more

Week in Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Linda Christensen - 10 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Breaking the Logjam The U.S. government’s delay in funding strategic chip capacity is threatening supply chains that are critical to national security. In fact, classified meetings are being held this week on the subject. Meanwhile, recognizing that time is of the essence, a group of billionaires has backed the “America’s Frontier Fund,” a non-profit group that aims to spur U.S. chipma... » read more

Continuous Integration For Digital Design
By Christian Skubich - 17 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Christian Skubich and Nico Peter In 2001, the Manifesto for Agile Software Development [1] laid the foundation for many modern software development processes. Today, 20 years later, agile methods are in widespread use in numerous domains. Out of the participants in the study Status Quo (Scaled) Agile 2020 [2], only 9% still relied on classic project management methods. One core element... » read more

Design Meets EDA: Gaps And Countermeasures In Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 08 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Along the path from specification to silicon, the design of analog/mixed-signal chips comprises a variety of challenges. They are of technological, methodological, organizational, communicational, and business nature. Additionally, large gaps are to be managed among the individual challenges. Still up to now, approaches such as the “four eye principle” are used even in industrial practice i... » read more
