Handling a back-to-back converter prototype by the virtual synchronous generator strategy

This paper assesses the processing capacity of the energy of a Back-to-Back (BTB) converter in static power compensation applications. The hypothesis is that it is possible to manage the power transfer flow based on the BTB linear operating region and appropriate control strategies, allowing AC/DC and DC/AC converters to control the power flow simultaneously. The results are demonstrated through a small-scale implementation, managed with the virtual synchronous generator strategy.
