hi Ionuț Vasile

actually i have 3 converters, all connected to one common DC link capacitor (i do not have in my model a separate capacitor at the end of each one)

Ionuț Vasile thank you so much, this was really helpful !

Mohammed Bilal Danoune thank you so much !

In general, the DC voltage rating of the capacitor should be rated based on the average maximum bus voltage x 1.1 (factor of safety) . E.g. if your 100% SOC battery voltage is 400V, the voltage rating of the capacitor should be 450V or higher.

Mohamed Amine Hartani

The bus capacitor is the common point of converters, where the powers of resources are clustered and fed to the load, besides being charged and discharge during transients of the load schedule.

So, to size the bus capacitor, first it's have to support the peak of load current and smooth the load voltage.

In general, the bus capacitor is the sum of parallel capacitors of DC DC converters, so you can size each converter separately as the easy solution.

The DC link capacitor is an important component in microgrid power electronics converters, as it helps to smooth out the DC voltage and reduce ripple in the output voltage. The choice of capacitance value for the DC link capacitor depends on several factors, including the power rating of the converter, the switching frequency of the converter, and the expected load profile of the microgrid.

Here are some general guidelines for choosing the capacitance value of the DC link capacitor in a microgrid power electronics converter:

The power rating of the converter: The capacitance value of the DC link capacitor should be selected to handle the expected power rating of the converter. A larger capacitance value is typically required for higher power ratings to ensure that the DC voltage remains stable and free from excessive ripple.

Switching frequency of the converter: The capacitance value of the DC link capacitor should also be selected based on the switching frequency of the converter. A higher switching frequency requires a larger capacitance value to maintain the same level of ripple reduction.

Expected load profile of the microgrid: The capacitance value of the DC link capacitor should be selected to handle the expected load profile of the microgrid. A microgrid with fluctuating loads may require a larger capacitance value to maintain a stable DC voltage and reduce ripple.

Efficiency considerations: A larger capacitance value can improve the efficiency of the converter by reducing switching losses. However, a larger capacitance value can also increase the size and cost of the converter.

In general, the capacitance value of the DC link capacitor should be selected to ensure that the DC voltage remains stable and free from excessive ripple, while also taking into account factors such as the power rating of the converter, switching frequency, and expected load profile. It is important to carefully analyze the system requirements and design constraints to select an appropriate capacitance value for the DC link capacitor in a microgrid power electronics converter.
