  2. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    In electrical engineering, power conversion is the process of converting electric energy from one form to another. A power converter is an electrical device for converting electrical energy between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). It can also change the voltage or frequency of the current. Power Converters can include simpler ...

  3. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    A power inverter, inverter, or invertoris a power electronicdevice 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 rectifierswhich were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC.

  4. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

    The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters, due to the conversion from DC to AC rather than the voltage change. The output frequency and waveform of an inverter may not accurately replicate that supplied by mains electricity ...

  5. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction. Alternating current is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences, and it is the form of electrical energy ...

  6. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

    Power engineering. 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.

  7. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems. [ 1 ] Most HVDC links use voltages between 100 kV and 800 kV. HVDC lines are commonly used for long-distance power transmission, since ...

  8. Power electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

    Power electronics started with the development of the mercury arc rectifier. Invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt in 1902, it was used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). From the 1920s on, research continued on applying thyratrons and grid-controlled mercury arc valves to power transmission.

  9. Flyback converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_converter

    Fig. 1: Schematic of a flyback converter. The flyback converter is used in both AC/DC, and DC/DC conversion with galvanic isolation between the input and any outputs. The flyback converter is a buck-boost converter with the inductor split to form a transformer, so that the voltage ratios are multiplied with an additional advantage of isolation.
