Semiconductors for Alternative Energy Technologies: 2015 Opportunities and Markets AnalysisDUBLIN, Sep. 02, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zkg54z/semiconductors) has announced the addition of the "Semiconductors for Alternative Energy Technologies: Opportunities and Markets" report to their offering.  The high price of oil in the past few years has been a catalyst for development in other alternative energy sources. Semiconductor technology surrounding the alternative energy markets includes advanced IGBT design, optoelectronics, advanced power conversion ICs, digital signal processing, MCUs, and advanced mixed signal and analog circuits. This report discussed the potential forthese products to be the next killer green application. Renewable, alternative energy technologies continue to grab the attention of private industries and world governments. Semiconductors are used in these technologies to convert the energy or power to something functional, such as converting solar energy into electricity. Semiconductors used in products such as inverters, include MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC, microcontrollers, DSPs, and discretes. The overall global market for PV inverters more than doubled in 2010, driven by main European markets. While the top 10 inverter suppliers were European, IC manufacturers of these devices have a more global presence. Alternative energy technologies analyzed in the report are: - Solar - Wind - Fuel Cells - Storage - Geothermal - Nuclear Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Solar Energy Chapter 3 Wind Energy Chapter 4 Fuel Cells Chapter 5 Storage/Electric Vehicle Technology Chapter 6 Geothermal Energy Chapter 7 Nuclear Power Chapter 8 Energy Harvesting Chapter 9 Hydroelectricity For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zkg54z/semiconductors Media Contact: Laura Wood , +353-1-481-1716, [email protected] To view the original version on PR Newswire, visit:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/semiconductors-for-alternative-energy-technologies-2015-opportunities-and-markets-analysis-300136785.html SOURCE Research and Markets
