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 .
Capacitor condition monitoring is achieved by measuring the capacitor voltage and exploiting the voltage change over different time scales separately. The capacitor voltage changes during charging and discharging indicate capacitance degradation. Additionally, the junction temperature is monitored by observing the capacitor voltage overshoot during IGBT device turn-off.
