  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. Properly configured, a grid tie inverter ...

  3. Grid-tied electrical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tied_electrical_system

    A grid-tied electrical system, also called tied to grid or grid tie system, is a semi-autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid. When insufficient electricity is available, electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall ...

  4. Solar inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_inverter

    The key role of the grid-interactive or synchronous inverters or simply the grid-tie inverter (GTI) is to synchronize the phase, voltage, and frequency of the power line with that of the grid. [8] Solar grid-tie inverters are designed to quickly disconnect from the grid if the utility grid goes down. This is an NEC requirement that ensures that ...

  5. Smart grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_grid

    A dynamic system apportions the energy provided by the solar panels and stored in the battery and hot water heaters to the system of 23 houses. The smart grid software dynamically updates energy supply and demand in 5 minute intervals, deciding whether to pull energy from the battery or from the panels and when to store it in the hot water heaters.

  6. 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 ...

  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. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

    A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...
