Most of the condition monitoring methods for both single capacitors and capacitor banks are based on the estimation of capacitance C and equivalent series resistance (ESR), which are indicators of capacitor degradation .
The impedance of a capacitor is primarily determined by capacitance C in region I, equivalent series resistance (ESR) in region II, and equivalent series inductance (ESL) in region III. In power systems, capacitors or banks of capacitors are commonly used for filtering, bypassing, power decoupling, and energy buffering.
A single capacitor or capacitor bank is typically used in power electronics conversion systems. When individual capacitors reach the end of their useful life, the system can malfunction. In a system with a capacitor bank, the time it takes for multiple capacitors to fail can vary.
Challenges in condition monitoring of capacitors Despite the existence of established and emerging methods, condition monitoring of capacitors presents its own challenges. The main challenge is the degradation mechanisms of the capacitor which involves the factors such as temperature, stress, humidity, aging and others.
Data Driven Methods gives promising results in condition monitoring of capacitors. Capacitors are an important component of power conversion systems because they affect the cost, size, performance, and range of such systems. However, capacitors have the highest degradation and failure rates of any power converter component.
When one or several capacitor banks are utilized, monitoring methods using the capacitor's current sensor to estimate the health of individual capacitors cannot be employed due to the increase in the required current sensors, which leads to an increase in weight, volume, and cost of the system.
