US Congress extends ITC for solar

Friday, December 18th, 2015

The US Congress looks to have agreed that the ITC tax credit for solar installations in the USA will be extended passed 31st December 2016.

While nothing is ever certain in politics or government, the stock markets have run up the stocks of the solar companies showing that there is some confidence that this will happen.

Congratulations to Dr. Rabia Nazir on completing her PhD in fractional delays in repetitive control

Friday, December 18th, 2015

Over the last two years ELMG Digital Power CTO, Dr. Hamish Laird, has helped supervise (the now Dr.) Rabia Nazir in the pursuit of her Doctoral studies.

Hamish Laird says

“The research that Rabia has completed in the area of fractional delays in recursive filters for current control in grid tied inverters gives great control tools in the implementation of control for GTIs in grids where the AC system frequency is varying. It is always great to help with PhD research as I learn so much so thanks to Rabia for letting me help.”

Congratulations to Dr. Rabia Nazir on her successful oral defense of here work.  Dr Laird again

“It was fantastic to attend Rabia’s defense.  I am so proud of and pleased with the work she did in analysing, simulating and building power converter hardware to show her findings. It was a great learning experience for me.”

Recently (now Dr.) Rabia Nazir presented a paper at a conference in Sicily on the use of Taylor Series expansion based fractional delay filters for recursive control of grid inverter currents.
