"The launch of CODA Energy represents a strategic progression of our business," said Phil Murtaugh, CEO of CODA Holdings. "CODA believes that renewable energy combined with enhanced grid efficiency provides the key to ending global reliance on fossil fuels. By rounding out our portfolio with highly configurable energy storage solutions, CODA is ready to support the growing energy storage market."
Worldwide installations of energy storage capacity are expected to increase from 121 megawatts (MW) in 2011 to 12,353 MW in 2021, with an estimated $122 billion in potential deployments over the next 10 years. CODA’s energy storage system (ESS) is positioned to seamlessly address the rapid growth and increased demand for safe, tested and reliable energy storage solutions. CODA Energy offers battery systems for generation, distribution and behind-the-meter applications for a myriad of commercial and industrial needs, as well as for microgrids, the security sector, the transportation sector and EV-fleet management.
"We launched CODA Energy to develop scalable energy solutions that support a smarter, greener grid," said Ed Solar, senior vice president, CODA Energy. "As demand for energy continues to increase, it’s imperative that we’re able to capture, store and dispatch natural resources. CODA Energy’s battery technologies are engineered to provide safe, robust and cost-effective solutions for today and tomorrow."
CODA’s ESS offers:
– Innovative Design: Integral to CODA’s battery storage technology is its modular design, which features vertical energy towers operating in concert, but managed independently. CODA Energy’s modular configuration promotes cost efficiency and enables continuous operation – even when performing maintenance – making the system an ideal choice for demanding environments.
– Power to Scale: CODA’s existing joint venture with battery manufacturer Lishen – supplier to Apple, Samsung, CODA Automotive and other major companies – supports cost-effective large scale supply. CODA shares proprietary innovation, research and development, and manufacturing intelligence among its automotive and stationary energy storage divisions, and passes that value onto the customer.
– Scalable Storage Solutions: CODA’s modular design tailors storage solutions to customers’ energy storage needs today, while allowing for seamless growth to meet future demand tomorrow. Due to the CODA DC source controller’s ability to scale, customers don’t need to buy more than needed, resulting in smaller footprints for smaller installations.
Using the Li-ion battery system already developed and tested by CODA, coupled with its battery management system (BMS) and active thermal management system, the CODA Energy ESS offers cost-effective, dependable and scalable purpose-built storage applications.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
