3-Phase and Single-Phase Grid Tie Inverter
A 3-phase/single-phase grid-tied voltage source converter (VSC) is a versatile power electronic device used for renewable energy integration up to 5kW. It converts the variable DC output of solar panels or wind turbines into stable AC power that seamlessly injects into the grid, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, it serves as a charger for household battery systems, allowing for efficient energy storage and utilization. The VSC's flexibility, accommodating both three-phase and single-phase configurations, makes it suitable for a wide range of residential applications, promoting clean energy integration and providing backup power during grid outages.Â
