2. Off-the-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-grid

   Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle [1] designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid , but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from ...

3. 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]

4. 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 ...

5. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   A solar inverter is a balance of system (BOS) component of a photovoltaic system and can be used for both grid-connected and off-grid (standalone) systems. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays, including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection.

6. Distributed generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_generation

   A large scale deployment of distributed generation may affect grid-wide functions such as frequency control and allocation of reserves. [50] As a result, smart grid functions, virtual power plants [51] [52] [53] and grid energy storage such as power to gas stations are added to the grid. Conflicts occur between utilities and resource managing ...

7. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

   A rooftop photovoltaic power station (either on-grid or off-grid) can be used in conjunction with other power components like diesel generators, wind turbines, batteries etc. These solar hybrid power systems may be capable of providing a continuous source of power. [2]
