The proposed submodule circuit provides the possibility of connecting the two capacitors in parallel when the intermediate voltage level is used. This will reduce the capacitor voltage ripple, especially at low switching frequencies, and thus, allow for a reduction of the size, weight, and cost of the submodule capacitors. The
Capacitors can be arranged in two simple and common types of connections, known as series and parallel, for which we can easily calculate the total capacitance. These two basic combinations, series and parallel, can also be used as part of more complex connections.
When we arrange capacitors in parallel in a system with voltage source V, the voltages over each element are the sameand equal to the source capacitor:. V₁ = V₂ = = V.. The general formula for the charge, Q i, stored in

By connecting several capacitors in parallel, the resulting circuit is able to store more energy since the equivalent capacitance is the sum of individual capacitances of all capacitors involved. This effect is used in some applications. DC power supplies. One example are DC supplies which sometimes use several parallel capacitors in order to better filter the output signal and

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors'' capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in parallel, the overall effect is that of a single equivalent capacitor having the sum total of the plate areas of the individual capacitors. As we''ve just seen, an increase in plate area, with all other factors unchanged,

High value polarised capacitors typically do not have ideal characteristics at high frequencies (e.g. significant inductance), so it''s fairly common to add a low value capacitor in parallel in situations where you need to worry about stability at high frequencies, as is the case with 78xx regulator ICs such as this.

When capacitors are connected together in parallel the total or equivalent capacitance, CT in the circuit is equal to the sum of all the individual capacitors added together. This is because the top plate of capacitor, C1 is connected to the top plate of C2 which is connected to the top plate of C3 and so on.
These two basic combinations, series and parallel, can also be used as part of more complex connections. Figure 8.3.1 8.3. 1 illustrates a series combination of three capacitors, arranged in a row within the circuit. As for any capacitor, the capacitance of the combination is related to both charge and voltage:
One important point to remember about parallel connected capacitor circuits, the total capacitance ( CT ) of any two or more capacitors connected together in parallel will always be GREATER than the value of the largest capacitor in the group as we are adding together values.
We can also define the total capacitance of the parallel circuit from the total stored coulomb charge using the Q = CV equation for charge on a capacitors plates. The total charge QT stored on all the plates equals the sum of the individual stored charges on each capacitor therefore,
Figure 8.3.1 8.3. 1: (a) Three capacitors are connected in series. The magnitude of the charge on each plate is Q. (b) The network of capacitors in (a) is equivalent to one capacitor that has a smaller capacitance than any of the individual capacitances in (a), and the charge on its plates is Q.
Since the capacitors are connected in parallel, they all have the same voltage V across their plates. However, each capacitor in the parallel network may store a different charge. To find the equivalent capacitance Cp C p of the parallel network, we note that the total charge Q stored by the network is the sum of all the individual charges:
