Guest Editorial | Powering the Energy Transition: Enabling the Next Wave of Energy Efficiency

By Henrik Mannesson, Texas Instruments

Semiconductors moved to the center of the energy transition about 10 years ago — a shift rivaled only by the invention of the alternator nearly 200 years before that. And while the alternator made AC power the dominant technology, today it's DC sources that dominate energy generation, storage and consumption in solar panels, batteries and data center processors.
