Reliability of DC-link capacitors in power electronic converters [PDF]
DC-link capacitors are widely used in power electronic converters to balance the instantaneous power difference between the input source and output load and to minimize voltage variation in the DC-link. In some applications, they are also used to provide energy storage. Figure 3.1 shows some typical configurations of power electronic conversion systems
