The greening of the grid: Demystifying solar inverters

The focal point of the U.S. Department of Energy's vision for the nation's electricity grid is solar power, seamlessly integrated into the existing grid architecture, with high levels of scalability, security and reliability.

To make that happen, the solar inverter is going to be both crucial and ubiquitous; for engineers it represents a significant opportunity for innovation. This short training video demystifies converter topologies, digital control in the conversion of DC to AC, capacitive isolation and communications standards for monitoring inverters. It's an invaluable first step to engineering a smarter, greener grid.
