14.1 Introduction
Static power converters that adapt DC voltages and currents to AC waveforms are usually known as
inverters. eir main function is to generate from one or multiple DC sources an AC switched pattern
output waveform, with a fundamental component with adjustable phase, frequency, and amplitude to
meet the needs of a particular application. A generic block diagram describing this function of the
inverter is shown in Figure 14.1 for a generic DC-variable x
dc
, usually voltage or current. Note that A
dc
is the xed amplitude of x
dc
, while A
ac
, f, and θ represent the adjustable amplitude, frequency, and phase
of the fundamenta
