Grid-connected photovoltaic power system Solar energy gathered by photovoltaic solar panels, intended for delivery to a power grid, must be conditioned, or processed for use, by a grid-connected inverter. Fundamentally, an inverter changes the DC input voltage from the PV to AC voltage for the grid. This inverter sits between the solar array and the grid, draws energy from each, and may be a large stand-alone unit or may be a collection of small inverters, each physically attached to individual solar panels. See AC Module. The inverter must monitor grid voltage, waveform, and frequency. One reason for monitoring is if the grid is dead
Length of a module formal algebraic geometry. Let "M" be a (left or right) module over some ring "R". Given a chain of submodules of "M" of the form we say that "n" is the "length" of the chain. The length of "M" is defined to be the largest length of any of its chains. If no such largest length exists, we say that "M" has infinite length. A ring "R" is said to have finite length as a ring if it has finite length as left "R" module. The zero module is the only one with length 0. Modules with length 1 are
