Study Notes

DC to AC Conversion (Inverter) is a power converter that converts DC power to AC power by switching the DC input voltage or current in a pre-determined sequence.
Applications include un-interruptible power supply (UPS), industrial motor drives, traction, and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems.
Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is a type of inverter where the DC link voltage is varied by a DC-to-DC converter or controlled rectifier to generate a square wave output voltage. The output voltage amplitude can be varied by changing the DC link voltage, and the frequency can be changed by varying the frequency of the square wave pulses.
Disadvantages of VSI with variable DC link include the need for an extra conversion stage and poor harmonics.
Fixed DC link inverter, also known as a Voltage Source Converter (VSC), keeps the DC voltage constant by turning the switch ON and OFF with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) pattern.
