Starting with a simple single-phase inverter, review the electronic components of power inverters and the roles they play. Also discover how to control the electronics in both a stand-alone setting and a grid-tied application. Then examine the more complex three-phase power inverter and its additional components and control algorithms before discussing the CompactRIO and Single-Board RIO product lines for developing and deploying robust power inverters. Lastly, as the demand for more efficient power conversion increases, explore the challenges engineers face, specifically power loss sources and ways to mitigate and reduce them.
