Analysis of Back To Back (BTB) Converter Control Strategies in Different Power System Applications

Abstract

Abstract Power Quality (PQ) is an important term in many industries and other electrical power consumers. Maintaining of power quality during the operation of industries is an important task as the PQ issues may arise and cause the deviation in normal mode operation. In order to maintain the stability and mitigate the PQ issues, Back to Back (BTB) are mostly used in different power systems majorly in industries. This paper provides a major review on the BTB converters role in different power system configurations which are playing important role in facing the power quality issues such as voltage sags occurred in the system due to any faulty condition or short circuits, harmonic distortions, and some other abnormal conditions. Also in this paper, the various control strategies implemented in the BTB converter at their respective power system configurations are presented which will be helpful in developing the new methods or modifications in using BTB converters for power system applications.
