Conferences > 2018 IEEE 12th International This paper proposes a three-phase photovoltaic inverter connected to a grid with a low DC link film capacitance. Generally, photovoltaic three-phase inverters have large electrolytic DC-Link capacitors.
In practice, selecting the right capacitor for your inverter involves more than just calculating the required capacitance. Other factors to consider include: - Voltage Rating: The capacitor must have a voltage rating higher than the DC link voltage to prevent breakdown.
Before diving into the calculations, it is important to understand the role of a DC link capacitor in inverter systems. The primary function of a DC link capacitor is to smooth out the DC bus voltage between the rectifier and inverter stages, which helps in reducing voltage ripple and preventing voltage spikes.
As the converter and inverter blocks have separate controls, this capacitor serves as the voltage reference for the inverter. Implementing photovoltaic (PV) systems as direct power sources for motors without batteries is a complex process that requires a sophisticated control mechanism.
The inverter’s power rating determines how much current is drawn from the DC bus. Higher power ratings require larger capacitors to ensure adequate energy storage and voltage stabilization. The switching frequency of the inverter affects the size of the capacitor.
