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.

3. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

   A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity. Depending on its topology, it controls the ...

4. Inverterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverterization

   Inverterization. Inverterization is the process of using an inverter-based motor drive intended to operate an electric motor at a variable speed for the sake of improved efficiency. [1] The main job of the inverter is to control the speed and torque of the motor to match work requirements. [2]

5. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

   Air conditioning can be achieved using a mechanical 'air conditioner' or by other methods, including passive cooling and ventilative cooling. [2][3] Air conditioning is a member of a family of systems and techniques that provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). [4] Heat pumps are similar in many ways to air conditioners, but ...

6. Power electronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

   A PCs power supply is an example of a piece of power electronics, whether inside or outside of the cabinet. Power electronics is the application of electronics to the control and conversion of electric power. The first high-power electronic devices were made using mercury-arc valves. In modern systems, the conversion is performed with ...

7. Inverter-based resource - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter-based_resource

   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 ...

8. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   Inverters that are capable of producing power at different AC voltages may have different efficiencies associated with each voltage. [6] Maximum input current: This is the maximum amount of direct current that the inverter can use. If a system, solar cells for example, produces a current in excess of the maximum input current, that current is ...

9. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

   A switched-mode power supply (SMPS), also called switching-mode power supply, switch-mode power supply, switched power supply, or simply switcher, is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently. Like other power supplies, a SMPS transfers power from a DC or AC source (often mains ...
