DC Link capacitors are used in converters, inverters and rectifiers. They are used in traction vehicle equipment (including EV and HEV) or inverters for large industrial drives. They are generally used in an input filter or a DC link filter.
The paper also reviews the two capacitor technologies suitable for inverter applications. Overall, the paper helps the power electronics development and design engineer in the design and performance evaluation procedure of dc bus capacitors for three-phase inverters. The method is simple but rigorous and accurate.
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.
The first step in sizing capacitors for inverter bus link applications should be to understand how much bus link capacitance is required for a given inverter design. The biggest design limitation for electrolytic capacitors in inverter applications has been the amount of ripple current that the electrolytic capacitor can sustain.
Electrolytic capacitors have been the workhorse technology for hard switched inverter bus link capacitors for many years. Electrolytic capacitor technology has also remained virtually unchanged over the years. Up till now, the greatest benefit in using electrolytic capacitors for bus link capacitors in inverters has been their cost.
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.
