storage.

Key PointsPower electronics life needs to match
application life.Energy storage requirements in single-
phase grid-connected applications lead to large (electrolytic) capacitors and limit life.
Successful designs that minimize energy storage and deliver extreme life at temperature are presented here.

Single-Phase Conversion• In single-phase power, voltage and current
are sinusoidal.
• Instantaneous power:p(t) = V0I0cos(2wt + φ)
• Desired output:constant energy flow.
• The difference:storage

increasing quickly.
• Photovoltaic conversion: 30 to 40 year operation.
• Both benefit from integratedpower electronics.

Reliability Limitations• System reliability is limited by a few
relatively failure-prone components:– Fans – Electrolytic capacitors– Optocouplers
• Other problems areas:– Batteries– Connectors
• Also quality control and manufacturing

Energy Storage: Single-Phase Applications.
• Usually storage is addressed withlarge electrolyticcapacitors.
• Must store thethe area under ahalf cycle of p(t).
• Amplitude: same as <P>.

Traditional Single-Phase Cases• Motors:
– Rotor acts as flywheel tostore the energymechanically.
• Lamps– Incandescent: thermal time constants– Fluorescent: yes, it flickers (some impact
from phosphors and ballasts)

Power Supplies• Energy is stored in electrolytic capacitors.

Operating Life and Reliability• Operating life and failure rates not the same.• Modern electrolytic capacitors have low
failure rates, but also limited operating life.• Example:
– 5000 hrs operating life at 105°C– Pre-wearout failure rate: 20 ppb/yr
• Expected life at 85°C: 20000 hrs.• Reliability dominated by life
expectancy.www.capacitorlab.com/visible-failures

Energy Requirements• Integrate the time plot.• Required energy storage

Dc bus configuration• Capacitors: voltage nearly constant, but
energy variation requires voltage variation.
• Capacitor current: double frequency.

Dc bus configuration• The energy storage on the dc bus is
• Ratio of actual energy to required energy is
• 1% bus ripple means 50x energy storage, 10% means 5x, etc.
• Dual analysis holds for inductive storage

• Known active filter configurations can reduce capacitance by decoupling voltage variation: inject compensation current1.
• In this case: double frequency filter current.

Power Flows?• Obvious: capacitor voltage and
current are linked.– Notice that iC(t)=k cos(2t) is
not consistent with desired power– V-I product at 4t.
• Avoid this and truly minimize energy storage and capacitance requirements.
• Need instantaneous power match – deliver double-frequency power directly.

Film Capacitors• The higher voltage levels are an
ideal match to film capacitors.• The best film capacitors have high reliability with
no special wear-out mechanisms: failure rates are typically two orders of magnitude better than for electrolytic capacitors.
• Designs that completely eliminate electrolytic capacitors have much higher reliability.
