2. 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 ...

3. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   The neutral conductor is connected to ground at the transformer center tap. Circuits for lighting and small appliance power outlets use 120 V circuits connected between one line and neutral. High-demand applications, such as ovens, are often powered using 240 V AC circuits—these are connected between the two 120 V AC lines.

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

   Waveform produced by a cigarette lighter 12 volt DC to 120 V AC 60 Hz inverter. The modified sine wave is the sum of two square waves, one of which is delayed one-quarter of the period with respect to the other. The result is a repeated voltage step sequence of zero, peak positive, zero, peak negative, and again zero.

6. Alternating current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

   A schematic representation of long distance electric power transmission. From left to right: G=generator, U=step-up transformer, V=voltage at beginning of transmission line, Pt=power entering transmission line, I=current in wires, R=total resistance in wires, Pw=power lost in transmission line, Pe=power reaching the end of the transmission line, D=step-down transformer, C=consumers.

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]
