Smart Inverter

An Inverter with a digital architecture, bidirectional communications and the ability to provide Reactive Power services.  Smart Inverters provide functionality including Voltage support, Frequency regulation, fault-ride-through capabilities. Large numbers of Smart Inverters can be operated autonomously, either statically or dynamically, reacting to changes on the Power System, or in the future remotely controlled through Active Power and Reactive Power management.
