Inverter Circuits

Inverters and Grid Intertie (IGI)- Inverters convert dc power to ac, or may be used for conditioning ac power. If a large power source is available from the sun - energy sales to the grid are feasible. This is cost prohibitive today due to the high price of components on a small scale. We aim to make selling power back to the grid feasible on scales of 1 kW. A good inverter is the heart of an off-grid electrical system if batteries are used to store power.

Review of Project Status

Are there relevant inverter circuits in these electronics links, taken from http://web.mit.edu/kumpf/www/kumpf-links.html:

• http://www.rlocman.com.ru/en/ RadioLocman. A very large archive of electronic circuits. You can find almost any type of circuit here, many with discriptions and explanations.
• http://www.chipcenter.com/ ChipCenter. Research electronic IC chips and view their datasheets.
• http://www.sm0vpo.8m.com/ Harry's Homebrew Homepage. A very interesting site with basic electrical theory, conversion and calculation programs, radio information, amplifier information, and a lot of circuits.
• http://www.us-epanorama.net/componentinfo.html Electronic Basics. Find out all kinds of information about all of the major electronic components. Very well organized and loaded with information.

The grid intertie inverters are sometimes called "grid-tie inverter" (GTI) or "grid-interactive inverter" or (for very large ones) "static inverter station" Are there relevant inverter circuits in these links, supplied by David Cary:
