2. 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.

3. AC-to-AC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-to-AC_converter

   An AC-AC converter with approximately sinusoidal input currents and bidirectional power flow can be realized by coupling a pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a PWM inverter to the DC-link. The DC-link quantity is then impressed by an energy storage element that is common to both stages, which is a capacitor C for the voltage DC-link or ...

4. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   Consumer electronics usually include an AC adapter (a type of power supply) to convert mains-voltage AC current to low-voltage DC suitable for consumption by microchips. Consumer voltage converters (also known as "travel converters") are used when traveling between countries that use ~120 V versus ~240 V AC mains power.

5. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   Utility frequency conversion - if a user in (say) a 50 Hz country needs a 60 Hz supply to power equipment that is frequency-specific, such as a small motor or some electronics, it is possible to convert the frequency by running an inverter with a 60 Hz output from a DC source such as a 12V power supply running from the 50 Hz mains.

6. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

   HVDC is used as an alternative to AC for transmitting electrical energy over long distances or between AC power systems of different frequencies. [1] HVDC converters capable of converting up to two gigawatts (GW) [ 2 ] and with voltage ratings of up to 900 kilo volts (kV) [ 3 ] have been built, and even higher ratings are technically feasible.

7. Texas Interconnection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Interconnection

   The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages the flow of electric power on the Texas Interconnection that supplies power to 26 million Texas customers – representing 90 percent of the state's electric load. [3] ERCOT is the first independent system operator (ISO) in the United States [4] and one of nine ISOs in North America. [5]

8. Royer oscillator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royer_oscillator

   The other disadvantage is that the power loss in the transformer can be very significant since it must operate at its maximum (saturating) magnetic flux density at the design frequency. Hence, the transformer is a critical component of the Royer inverter which has an impact on (a) its function (the amplitude & frequency of the output voltage ...

9. Ćuk converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ćuk_converter

   Isolated Ćuk converter with gapless AC transformer. As the non-isolated Ćuk converter, the isolated Ćuk converter can have an output voltage magnitude that is either greater than or less than the input voltage magnitude, even with a 1:1 AC transformer. However, the turns ratio can be controlled to reduce device stress on the input side.
