  2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC. [2]

  3. Inverter-based resource - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter-based_resource

    An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation ( CIG ), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations ...

  4. Inverter (logic gate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter_(logic_gate)

    An inverter circuit outputs a voltage representing the opposite logic-level to its input. Its main function is to invert the input signal applied. If the applied input is low then the output becomes high and vice versa. Inverters can be constructed using a single NMOS transistor or a single PMOS transistor coupled with a resistor. Since this ...

  5. Glossary of power electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_power_electronics

    In inverter operation, the situation that a valve arm continues conduction at the end of the normal conduction interval or at the end of the hold-off interval. (electronic) (power) conversion Change of one or more of the characteristics of an electric power system essentially without appreciable loss of power by means of electronic valve devices .

  6. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    Two simple examples are a constant current source connected to a capacitor and a constant voltage source connected to an inductor. In electronics, it is common to refer to a circuit that is powered by a DC voltage source such as a battery or the output of a DC power supply as a DC circuit even though what is meant is that the circuit is DC powered.

  7. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

    A grid-tie inverter converts direct current (DC) into an alternating current (AC) suitable for injecting into an electrical power grid, at the same voltage and frequency of that power grid. Grid-tie inverters are used between local electrical power generators: solar panel, wind turbine, hydro-electric, and the grid. [1]

  8. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    Capability curves for generators with full converters: D-shape (red), rectangular (green), triangular (blue) The inverter-based resources (like solar photovoltaic (PV) generators, doubly-fed induction generators and full-converter wind generators, also known as "Type 3" and "Type 4" turbines [5]) need to have reactive capabilities in order to contribute to the grid stability, yet their ...

  9. Schmitt trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger

    Examples are the classic transistor emitter-coupled Schmitt trigger, the op-amp inverting Schmitt trigger, etc. Modified input voltage (parallel feedback): when the input voltage crosses the threshold in either direction the circuit changes its input voltage in the same direction (now it adds a part of its output voltage directly to the input ...
