    Differences Between VSI and CSI Converter Operation Modes.

    Uploaded by

    Sushil Namoijam
    The document discusses the differences between voltage source inverters (VSI) and current source inverters (CSI) in their operation modes. It explains that VSIs require a constant DC-link voltage and generate AC voltages through voltage pulses, while CSIs require a constant DC-link current and generate AC currents through current pulses. It also outlines other key differences in their circuit configurations and fault susceptibilities. Finally, it notes that VSIs are more commonly used for grid operations as they can independently operate in both grid-forming and grid-following modes by controlling voltage or current output.
