Abstract

An accurate theory of calculating the DC link capacitor voltage ripple and current ripple for SPWM inverters and PWM rectifiers, which are most commonly used in series hybrid electric bus (SHEB) converter/inverter systems at low speed, is presented in the paper. Most of all, the results are analyzed and summarized into graphs, which helps to find the right capacitance value for a given voltage ripple tolerance and the rms ripple current that the capacitor has to absorb. An inverter prototype is built and experimental results are demonstrated to verify the theoretical calculation.
