Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study presented methodologies for evaluating capacitors toward highly reliable power electronic converters. A special small-power inverter was designed, constructed, and tested for evaluating capacitors, which provides equivalent voltage and current waveforms to a full-scale inverter although its power rating is less than 1/10 of the full-scale inverter. This study also developed a calorimetric power-loss measurement method with the small-power inverter, which achieved power-loss measurement that is of the order of 1 W. In addition, ageing test of capacitors was carried out to estimate the lifetime of the capacitors. The test revealed that attention should be paid both to the equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and to the capacitance when one monitors health condition of capacitors.
