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).

3. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   Another requirement is to provide low-voltage electricity to a device from mains electricity; this would be done by what is usually called a power supply.Most modern electronic devices require between 1.5 and 24 volts DC; lower-powered devices at these voltages can often work either from batteries or mains.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   Single-pole circuit breakers feed 120 V circuits from one of the 120 V buses within the panel, or two-pole circuit breakers feed 240-volt circuits from both buses. 120 V circuits are the most common, and used to power NEMA 1 and NEMA 5 outlets, and most residential and light commercial direct-wired lighting circuits.

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. [1]
