  2. Cycloconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloconverter

    A cycloconverter (CCV) or a cycloinverter converts a constant amplitude, constant frequency AC waveform to another AC waveform of a lower frequency by synthesizing the output waveform from segments of the AC supply without an intermediate DC link (Dorf 1993, pp. 2241–2243 and Lander 1993, p. 181). There are two main types of CCVs, circulating ...

  3. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

    A cycloconverter is also a type of frequency changer. Unlike a VFD, which is an indirect frequency changer since it uses an AC-DC stage and then a DC-AC stage, a cycloconverter is a direct frequency changer because it uses no intermediate stages. Another application is in the aerospace and airline industries. Often airplanes use 400 Hz power so ...

  4. Tap converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_converter

    The tap converter is a variation on the cycloconverter, invented in 1981 by New York City electrical engineer Melvin Sandler and significantly functionally enhanced in 1982 through 1984 by graduate students Mariusz Wrzesniewski, Bruce David Wilner, and Eddie Fung.

  5. AC-to-AC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-to-AC_converter

    A cycloconverter constructs an output, variable-frequency, approximately sinusoid waveform by switching segments of the input waveform to the output; there is no intermediate DC link. With switching elements such as SCRs, the output frequency must be lower than the input.

  6. Synchronverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronverter

    Figure 1. A simple diagram of synchronverter operation environment. Synchronverters or virtual synchronous generators [1] [2] are inverters which mimic synchronous generators (SG) [3] to provide "synthetic inertia" for ancillary services in electric power systems. [4]

  7. Metadyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadyne

    The word metadyne is derived from the Greek words for conversion of power. [1] While the name is believed to have been coined by Joseph Maximus Pestarini (Italian language Giuseppe Massimo Pestarini) in a paper which he submitted to the Montefiore International Contest at Liège, Belgium in 1928, the type of machine which it described had been known since the 1880s.

  9. Cancer in adolescents and young adults - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_in_adolescents_and...

    Young adults are more likely than either younger children or older adults to be diagnosed with certain cancers, such as Hodgkin lymphoma, testicular cancer, and some types of sarcomas. In adolescents and young adults 15 to 24 years old, lymphoma , testicular cancer, and thyroid cancer are the most common types, while among 25- to 39-year-olds ...
