Abstract
Back to Back converters are commonly used converters in many ac to ac conversion applications. Even though Converters without intermediate energy storage element are developed, Those with DC link capacitors still continue to be most popular due to the inherent advantages. The performance of such converters is affected by the operation of DC link capacitors used. This paper gives a detailed study of various types of back to back converters and considerations in DC link capacitor design and selection. A MATLAB program is also developed to analyze the effect of RMS (Root mean Square) ripple current and consequent effect on the life of the DC link capacitors in Voltage link back to back converters.
Keywords
