2. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   A high-quality modern grid-tie inverter has a fixed unity power factor, which means its output voltage and current are perfectly lined up, and its phase angle is within 1° of the AC power grid. The inverter has an internal computer that senses the current AC grid waveform, and outputs a voltage to correspond with the grid. However, supplying ...

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. 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]

5. Grid energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_energy_storage

   Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, are technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power , releasing it when needed.

6. Home energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Energy_Storage

   Companies are also developing smaller flow battery technology for home use. As a local energy storage technologies for home use, they are smaller relatives of battery-based grid energy storage and support the concept of distributed generation. When paired with on-site generation, they can virtually eliminate blackouts in an off-the-grid lifestyle.

7. 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 ...
