Alimentation sans interruptionUne alimentation sans interruption (ASI), ou alimentation statique sans coupure (ASSC), ou encore un onduleur (du nom d'un de ses composants), est un dispositif de l'électronique de puissance qui permet de fournir un courant alternatif stable et dépourvu de coupures ou de micro-coupures, quoi qu'il se produise sur le réseau électrique. Les ASI de dernières générations permettent également de maximiser le facteur de puissance vu du réseau, et de délivrer une haute qualité d'énergie en sortie, tout ceci indépendamment du réseau d'entrée (fréquence et tension RMS fixes, taux de distorsion harmonique faible).
Capacitor electric vehicleA capacitor electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses supercapacitors (also called ultracapacitors) to store electricity. the best ultracapacitors can only store about 5% of the energy that lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can, limiting them to a couple of miles per charge. This makes them ineffective as a general energy storage medium for passenger vehicles. But ultracapacitors can charge much faster than batteries, so in vehicles such as buses that have to stop frequently at known points where charging facilities can be provided, energy storage based exclusively on ultracapacitors becomes viable.
Lead–lag compensatorA lead–lag compensator is a component in a control system that improves an undesirable frequency response in a feedback and control system. It is a fundamental building block in classical control theory. Lead–lag compensators influence disciplines as varied as robotics, satellite control, automobile diagnostics, LCDs and laser frequency stabilisation. They are an important building block in analog control systems, and can also be used in digital control. Given the control plant, desired specifications can be achieved using compensators.
