Fast optimum-predictive control and capacitor voltage balancing

Bipolar-connected back-to-back NPC converters have advantages in long-distance HVDC transmission systems over the full back-to-back connection, but greater difficulty to balance the dc capacitor voltage divider on both sending and receiving end NPC converters. This study shows that power flow control and dc capacitor voltage balancing are feasible using

6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Capacitor back to back connection method picture”

Can wet electrolytic capacitors be connected back-to-back?

Summary: Yes "polarised" aluminum "wet electrolytic" capacitors can legitimately be connected "back-to-back" (ie in series with opposing polarities) to form a non-polar capacitor. Veffective = vrating of C1 & C2. See "Mechanism" at end for how this (probably) works.

Does a back-to-back capacitor work for tantalums?

However, when you have two back-to-back, the forward-biased capacitor prevents a prolonged DC current from flowing. Works for tantalums, too: For circuit positions when reverse voltage excursions are unavoidable, two similar capacitors in series connected “back to back” ... will create a non-polar capacitor function ...

Can ionic diodes be used in a back-to-back connection?

Back-to-back connection relying on the ionic diodes avoids the above problem, but introduces a different one - at least in theory. It is possible for capacitors to have low-level leakage that is not directly associated with the intended operation; this could cause problems to develop over time if one capacitor leaks and the other does not.

How does a back-to-back converter work?

In a back-to-back converter, a brake chopper can be used to limit the dc-link voltage during transients. The dierence is the average power rating. Instead of consuming the whole rotational energy, only the transient must be taken care of by the brake resistor. Most of the energy is fed back to the power grid.

What happens if two electrolytic capacitors are connected in series?

From this document: If two, same-value, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are connected in series, back-to-back with the positive terminals or the negative terminals connected, the resulting single capacitor is a non-polar capacitor with half the capacitance to either of the original pair.

Can a capacitor be reverse biased?
