How to Ensure Safety under UL 3741 - Understanding the Risks and Limitations of Some Solutions Without DC Optimization
DC-optimized systems allow for two panels to be connected in series, meaning that, upon rapid shutdown initiation, the maximum voltage within the array is 125VDC The UL 3741 Standard for Photovoltaic Hazard Control was introduced in 2020 to reduce potential firefighting hazards around photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, three years on, questions are being asked about whether the standard certification process is as robust as it needs to be. Here, Bill Brooks, Principal, Brooks Engineering...

Offshore wind jacket lifts via ring crane keep work going, whatever the tide
Quayside load-out flexibility optimizes the offshore installation campaign Offshore wind projects taking place in macrotidal environments, such as around the UK, must deal with water level changes of more than four meters every six hours. This extreme tidal range is difficult to compensate for using ballasting, so projects that require load-in or load-out of large jackets are delayed when waters are too high or low, leaving the installation vessel waiting. This was the challenge facing G...
