With electric vehicles, inverters are typically optimized for two things - power density and efficiency. Thus, DC link should not be any larger than what the requirements call for. The objective of this article is to help you better understand the role of the DC link capacitor and how to properly size it based off your requirements.
In a VSI, the DC link capacitor has two main responsibilities – Provide low impedance path for high frequency currents – As frequency goes up, the battery and cable parasitic inductance cause the impedance to increase. The DC link capacitor impedance goes down so it becomes the preferable path for high frequency AC to circulate.
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.
