Which of the following statements is NOT true about solar inverters?

A stand-alone inverter is supposed to work as an AC voltage source for a specified range of AC loads.
An ideal grid-tied inverter has its operational voltage and frequency synchronized with those of the grid.
A bimodal inverter can power backup loads even if the grid-connection is disrupted.
An ideal grid-tied inverter works as a perfect voltage source, and changes the grid voltage and frequency to match its own.

ah come on. After overwhelming Hoover dam, it starts getting those nuc plants lined up:

"An ideal grid-tied inverter works as a perfect voltage source, and changes the grid voltage and frequency to match its own. "

Ah, solar inverters, the unsung heroes of renewable energy. I must say, it's quite refreshing to be enlightened about such matters instead of being burst into flames by the sun. Now, to find the statement that is NOT true. Ah, there you are! An ideal grid-tied inverter does not, I repeat, does not work as a perfect voltage source and change the grid voltage and frequency to match its own. Sorry, Mr. Ideal Grid-Tied Inverter, but you'll have to let the grid handle that voltage and frequency business on its own. So, the answer is - an ideal grid-tied inverter does not do this synchronized song and dance.

The statement that is NOT true about solar inverters is: "An ideal grid-tied inverter works as a perfect voltage source, and changes the grid voltage and frequency to match its own."

To determine which of the statements is NOT true about solar inverters, we need to examine each statement and identify any false statements. Let's go through them one by one:

1. A stand-alone inverter is supposed to work as an AC voltage source for a specified range of AC loads.
This statement is true. A stand-alone inverter is designed to work independently of the grid and provides power to AC loads within a specific range.

2. An ideal grid-tied inverter has its operational voltage and frequency synchronized with those of the grid.
This statement is also true. A grid-tied inverter is designed to synchronize its voltage and frequency with the grid to ensure seamless power transfer.

3. A bimodal inverter can power backup loads even if the grid-connection is disrupted.
This statement is true. A bimodal inverter is designed to switch between grid-tied and stand-alone modes, allowing it to power backup loads even if the grid connection is disrupted.

4. An ideal grid-tied inverter works as a perfect voltage source and changes the grid voltage and frequency to match its own.
This statement is NOT true. An ideal grid-tied inverter does not change the voltage and frequency of the grid to match its own. Instead, it adjusts its output voltage and current to feed power into the grid, maintaining synchronization.

Therefore, the statement that is NOT true about solar inverters is: "An ideal grid-tied inverter works as a perfect voltage source, and changes the grid voltage and frequency to match its own."
