VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 10, 2025--

Daanaa Resolution, Inc., an innovator in power system architecture and design, announces its Power Transaction Unit (PTU), a novel approach to ultra-high voltage conversion ratio power converters that is real-time programmable. In a compact module, the PTU provides greater than 95% power conversion efficiency across a one-decade operating range, with a voltage conversion ratio exceeding 110x. The PTU is bidirectional, multimodal (AC/DC), with dynamically adjustable output amplitude and phase. It enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in automotive, solar energy, high-performance computing, and other industries to develop highly energy-efficient systems with reduced engineering and operational overhead.

The rising demand for electricity, driven by homes, businesses, AI, and vehicle electrification, makes efficient energy conversion critical. However, renewable energy sources, such as solar cells and batteries, generate low-voltage DC outputs (often less than 4V), while most applications require stable high-voltage AC (240V) or DC (12V–800V). Traditional power conversion techniques rely on multi-stage architectures and serialized energy sources, leading to inefficiencies, compounding losses, cascading failures, and increased system complexity.

Unlike traditional multi-stage systems, Daanaa’s PTU enables parallel connections for greater resilience while minimizing losses. Its real-time programmability adapts to changing conditions like sunlight and environmental conditions, battery state of charge (SOC), battery state of health (SOH), ensuring stable, optimized power transfer. By integrating multiple power functions into a compact, single-step module, Daanaa improves efficiency, simplifies system design and reduces engineering, operational, and maintenance costs.

Key Benefits

"We’re receiving growing interest from unconventional solar and energy storage applications struggling with efficiency," said Udi Daon, Daanaa’s CEO. "We’re offering a hands-on experience with our development system for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV), Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and more."

PTU Development System Available for Evaluation

Customers can evaluate the PTU’s capabilities using Daanaa’s development system, which connects to photovoltaic modules and batteries to demonstrate the technology’s potential in solar and energy storage applications.

BIPV and VIPV face challenges in optimizing solar energy generation due to irregular surfaces, dynamic shading, and complex power electronics. The PTU’s short-cell substring approach adapts to irregular surfaces, while per-substring DC optimization and ultra-fast MPPT maximize energy harvest even in dynamic shade conditions. Real-time configuration enables dynamic control of the output to a load.

The PTU also enhances battery performance. In electrified vehicles, it increases range by 10%, boosts motor power by over 40% and reduces charge time by over 50% without modifying battery cell count.

The development system includes an enclosed module featuring input and output connectors for easy integration with sources, loads, and measurement devices. It supports low-voltage DC input of 3V–6.7V and outputs either 380V-800V DC or 240VAC based on configurable settings.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A shooting outside a church building in Salt Lake City killed two people and injured six others Wednesday, police said.

The shooting took place in the parking lot of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church.

Dozens of people were attending a funeral inside at the time. All the victims were adults.

Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith.

“We don’t believe this was a targeted attack against a religion or anything like that,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.

Police also do not believe the shooting was random. Authorities said no suspect was in custody.

About 100 law enforcement vehicles were at the scene in the aftermath, and helicopters flew overhead.

“This should never have happened outside a place of worship. This should never have happened outside a celebration of life,” Mayor Erin Mendenhall said.

The church was cooperating with law enforcement and was grateful for efforts first responders' efforts, a spokesperson said.

“We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind,” Sam Penrod said in a statement.

The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and about half of Utah’s 3.5 million residents are members of the faith. Churches like the one where the shooting occurred can be found in towns throughout the city and state.

The faith has been on heightened alert since four people were killed when a former Marine opened fire in a Michigan church last month and set it ablaze. The FBI found that he was motivated by “anti-religious beliefs” against the church.
