3.2.3.2.2 Cx Capacitance Selection

Cx are the capacitors connected between line-to-line or line-to-neutral. The aim of these capacitors is to attenuate the differential mode noise injected from the DC/AC into the grid. The value of these capacitors is a trade-off between reactive power provided to the grid and the differential mode attenuation. By default, the reactive power injected into the grid is equal to Equation 23:

Equation 23. Q =   V r m s 2 × C × ω

At 5 % load, a power factor equal to 0.7 (45°) has been set up as requirement. Thus, leading to limit the quantity of reactive power to:

Equation 24. Q m a x = 0.05 × P n o m × tan ⁡ φ = 56   V A R

The maximum value of capacitance can be calculated from Equation 23 and Equation 24 and is equal to 3.5 μF. Two Cx capacitors, respectively, with values of 1 μF and 2.2 μF were selected.
