HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The DC arcing remains a significant concern in the PV industry, often being the primary catalyst for fires. As solar installations increase in scale and longevity, the risks tied to DC arcing have risen, necessitating advances in detection and mitigation technologies.
In August 2024, Sungrow partnered with XB Solar, a renowned clean energy service provider in Vietnam, to conduct functional tests of its latest AFCI 3.0 technology in Tay Ninh Province, Vietnam. AFCI 3.0 demonstrated exceptional performance, surpassing industry standards with its advanced arc detection range and rapid arc extinction capabilities.
The tests were conducted in full compliance with the latest international standard, IEC 63027. Using an automatic spherical arc simulator and Tektronix oscilloscope, the results were precise and reliable. During the tests, AFCI 3.0 technology, based on a new generation AI computing system, achieved precise detection and rapid interruption of DC arcing in various conditions. For instance, with a 450-meter DC cable loop, AFCI 3.0 technology detected and interrupted the arc within 1.2 seconds. Under a 650-meter DC cable loop, AFCI 3.0 technology stopped the arc within 1.5 seconds, far exceeding the requirements of the IEC 63027 standard.
AFCI 3.0 technology is now fully integrated into Sungrow's SG150CX, the new generation high-power string inverter. With its wide detection range and rapid arc extinguishing capability, AFCI 3.0 empowers the seamless design and deployment of expansive, efficient, and secure PV subsystems, strengthening safety in large-scale commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects. Looking ahead, Sungrow remains at the forefront of innovation, driving performance advancements to ensure the highest level of safety for the global PV industry.
*Note: The tested module in this evaluation is identified as the Q.PLUS DUO L-G5.2 365, boasting a nominal power of 365W, a maximum current of 9.41A, and a peak voltage of 38.79V at maximum power.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading-edge artificial intelligence algorithms are now powering production at nearly half of VSPO's esports tournaments, dramatically reducing content creation time and enhancing fan engagement, said the company's co-founder Danny Tang at the New Global Sport Conference 2024 ("NGSC") in Riyadh this August.
At a panel discussion with other industry leaders including Ahmad Alabduljabbar, Craig Levine, Jean Mariotte, Penny Diao and Shay Segev, Tang said nearly half of the esports tournaments VSPO produces are now leveraging AI to assist key production tasks such as live highlights capturing and post-game replay editing, markedly boosting the efficiency and agility of the company's tournament operations.
VSPO, Asia's biggest esports company, organizes and produces more than 80 tournaments and 7,000 matches every year, captivating an online fan base of over 800 million.
"Over the past couple years, we have developed a lot of AI tools to allow us to better produce esports tournament content in a much more efficient manner," said Tang, who is also VSPO's CFO and head of global strategy office, "For example, our 'AICam' now allows us to turn hours of game footage into viral social media content in mere seconds."
As the leading conference for the Esports World Cup Foundation, the NGSC 2024 hosted a global delegation of over 1,200 industry thought-leaders at the Kingdom Centre on August 24-25.
At the event, Tang introduced VSPO's two proprietary AI tools, "AIOB" and "AICam", which have been instrumental in streamlining esports production process. AIOB, an algorithm trained on extensive tournament data, assists directors in identifying and broadcasting the most thrilling moments in real time. AICam, on the other hand, automates the selection and editing of highlights, turning them into viral video clips with unprecedented speed and precision.
Another VSPO's key AI project Tang shared was VSPO's partnership with Qualcomm on the Snapdragon "Faith of Victory" initiative, an esports athlete emotion detection system capable of providing real-time insights into an athlete's state of emotions by studying their facial expressions and heart rates. The AI system has been trained with data from 175 professional players across 18 top teams in the King Pro League, and VSPO continues to refine it for improved performance on a frequent basis.
Furthermore, Tang said that VSPO is also in the process of integrating its proprietary AI technologies into its signature, award-winning "4K OB Truck," a patented mobile production unit designed for on-the-go creation and broadcasting of top-tier esports events.
This innovative vehicle was a standout feature at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, where esports was recognized as a medal sport for the first time, as a significant portion of the esports series was produced using VSPO's "4K OB Truck," showcasing its capabilities on an international stage.
