  2. 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. [2]

  3. 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.

  4. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

    Schematic of an inverter using a vibrator as a chopper. In electronics, a chopper circuit is any of numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly.

    A typical example are Howland current source [2] and its derivative Deboo integrator. [3] In the last example (Fig. 1), the Howland current source consists of an input voltage source, V IN, a positive resistor, R, a load (the capacitor, C, acting as impedance Z) and a negative impedance converter INIC (R 1 = R 2 = R 3 = R and the op-amp).

  9. 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 ...
