Voltage Source Converter (VSC)

A Voltage Source Converter (VSC) is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, and vice versa. It uses power electronic components like transistors to precisely control the voltage and frequency of the AC output, making it suitable for modern electrical systems such as power grids and renewable energy integrations. VSCs enable efficient, flexible, and reversible energy flow, allowing for improved stability and control in electrical networks. They are essential in applications like high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission and wind power systems.
