Abstract

In this paper, a novel on-line do capacitance estimation method for the PWM converter is proposed. At no load, Input current at a low frequency is injected, which causes do voltage ripple. With the ac voltage and current ripple components of the dc side, the capacitance can be calculated. Experimental result shows that the estimation error is less than $2\%$.
