PSDcast (also known as Podcast) by Power Systems Design are moderated and produced by PSD's editorial staff.
PSDcast are audio interviews on relevant topics to the power electronics industry and are conducted with subject matter experts from the power electronics industry, academic institutions and relevant industry associations.

In this PSDcast Virgil Beaston of Powin Energy talks to Alix Paultre of Power Systems Design about batteries and other renewable energy sources in the industry. Batteries are currently one of the bottlenecks in the wider expression of the Internet of Things, and creating better and smarter batteies are key. The company recently released a Battery Pack Operating System (bp-OS) for distributed energy storage systems and associated applications. The patented bp-OS utilizes a unique algorithm to actively and passively balance batteries down to the cell level, enabling the minimization of voltage differentials across all battery cells over the system's lifetime.
