    Question

    Which of the following scheme is used for coupling ac systems of different frequencies?

    A.

    FACTS device

    B.

    cycloconverter

    C.

    back-to-back dc link

    D.

    none of the above

    Correct option is C


    Back-to-Back dc-link:
     A back-to-back connection is the direct connection of the output of one device to the input of a similar or related device.
     A back-to-back connection for electric power transmission is a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) system with both ends in the same switchyard.
     This is used to couple asynchronously operated power grids or for connecting power grids of different frequencies where no DC transmission line is necessary.
     The back-to-back dc-link reduces the overall conversion cost, improves the reliability of the DC system.
