Metering and
Energy Monitoring
ADI offers best-in-class converter
technology that can operate
with many types of input sensor
technologies and supports the
broadest range of analog input
bandwidth, giving customers the
architecture options they need
to meet the most demanding
system requirements.
ADI has advanced technology
for metering that enables better
system health, helps prevent
energy theft, and simplifies energy
meter manufacturing that helps
drive lower operating expenses.
Relay Protection
ADI is the leading supplier of converters and signal processors
for high/medium voltage protection equipment and is offering
the AD777x series, a new data acquisition system with
breakthrough dynamic range and throughput.
Solar Inverters
ADI was the first company to develop devices with a fully
integrated signal chain for solar inverter applications and today
our ADSP-CM41x series leads the industry in efficiency and
performance via extremely precise control.
Energy Storage
Communications
Energy storage is a critical element
for leveraging intermittent renewable
and distributed generation
technologies. ADI offers a wide
range of signal chain solutions
for battery management systems,
charging, and power conversion.
ADI’s portfolio of radio transceiver
products supports a variety of
international communication
standards within a common
hardware platform. This flexibility
enables our customers to futureproof their R&D investment and
maximize engineering reuse.
Renewable
Energy Generation
