2. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   Grid-tie inverters are designed to disconnect quickly from the grid if the utility grid goes down. In the United States, there is an NEC requirement [ 2 ] that in the event of a blackout, the grid tie inverter shut down to prevent the electricity it generates from harming persons repairing the power grid.

3. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   An inverter is used to generate AC low voltage, which more typical appliances can be used with. A typical stand-alone solar PV system at a sewage treatment plant in Santuari de Lluc , Spain Stand-alone photovoltaic power systems are independent of the utility grid and may use solar panels only or may be used in conjunction with a diesel ...

4. Inverterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

5. Soft-switching three-level inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-switching_three-level...

   A soft-switching three-level inverter (S3L inverter) is a high-efficiency power electronic inverter intended, in particular, for use with three-phase drives, as a grid-tie inverter for photovoltaic installations or wind turbines and in power supplies. [1] The topology was developed in 2009 at HTWG Konstanz (Constance University of Applied ...

6. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   A three-wire three-phase circuit is usually more economical than an equivalent two-wire single-phase circuit at the same line-to-ground voltage because it uses less conductor material to transmit a given amount of electrical power. [3] Three-phase power is mainly used directly to power large induction motors, other electric motors and other ...

7. 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 ...

8. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   The line to neutral voltage is half the line-to-line voltage. Lighting and small appliances may be connected between a line wire and the neutral. Higher-power appliances, such as cooking equipment, space heating, water heaters, clothes dryers, air conditioners and electric vehicle charging equipment, are connected to the two line conductors.

9. Two-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_electric_power

   The revolving magnetic field produced with a two-phase system allowed electric motors to provide torque from zero motor speed, which was not possible with a single-phase induction motor (without an additional starting means). Induction motors designed for two-phase operation use a similar winding configuration as capacitor start single-phase ...
