For the stable operation of sensitive systems, high-bandwidth control is essential for power converters, where the current/voltage ripple serves as a quality measure of the synthesized waveform. Therefore, selecting an appropriate DC-link capacitor, which directly impacts system bandwidth, is crucial. This paper presents the relationship between input/output DC-link capacitance and its impact on system bandwidth. The proposed control and design strategy overcomes the constraints imposed on system bandwidth by the DC-link capacitor requirement to meet the desired ripple current, by introducing a harmonic trap filter. State-space modeling and state variable feedback control are employed on a 5 kW DAB converter to validate the proposed strategy.
