According to , 2 L and 3 L converters have an energy storage requirement in the dc-link between 2 and 4 J/kVA. Therefore, both 2 L and 3 L presented equal stored energy requirements in the dc-link capacitor around 4000 J. For the inductor, the stored energy is 360 J and 1050 J for 2 L and 3 L, respectively.
Using electric energy on all scales is practically impossible without devices for storing and converting this energy into other storable forms. This applies to many mobile and portable applications, grid-related stationary applications, and the growing integration of renewable energies.
