Green Power is often defined as that derived from renewable resources such as photovoltaic (solar), geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass, or wind. The term is also commonly applied to power-friendly designs that minimize environmental impact by reducing global power consumption. Nuvation's engineering teams are well versed in designing green power systems including RCU power controllers for renewable energy, mixed-signal board designs, digital signal processing control algorithms, power management techniques, and high-efficiency discrete power supply designs.
