Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global VSC-HVDC DC-Link Capacitors market size was valued at US$ 733 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1648 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 12.3% during review period.
Flexible DC support capacitors are high-capacity DC film capacitors installed in the submodules of VSC-HVDC and MMC-HVDC flexible DC converter valves. They typically form part of a power submodule together with IGBTs, IGCTs, or other fully controlled power semiconductors, bypass switches, stacked busbars, and valve control units.
Their primary functions include:
Stabilizing the DC-side voltage of the submodule;
Storing and releasing transient energy;
Absorbing power fluctuations and ripple currents in the bridge arms;
Reducing DC voltage fluctuations;
Supporting converter fault ride-through and dynamic power regulation;
Suppressing spikes and high-frequency oscillations caused by device switching.
The scope of application of NB/T 11388-2023 explicitly covers DC capacitors installed within the power module subunits of converter valves in flexible high-voltage DC transmission systems rated at ±800 kV and below. Typical parameters for Chinese FHVDC products include a rated voltage of 1.0–4.0 kV, a rated capacitance of 2,000–20,000 μF, an equivalent series inductance (ESL) not exceeding 50 nH, and a design life of up to 40 years.
In 2025, global sales of VSC-HVDC DC-Link Capacitors reached 65.77 thousand units, with an average price of 10.83 thousand U.S. dollars per unit.
Industry Development Trends
Ultra-High-Voltage Flexible DC Drives Up Demand for Individual Projects
Flexible DC systems are gradually evolving from ±320 kV and ±500 kV to ±525 kV and ±800 kV. The transmission capacity of individual projects has increased from 1–2 GW to 4–8 GW. Although higher-voltage power devices can reduce the number of submodules, the voltage, capacitance, and reliability requirements for individual capacitors have significantly increased.
Offshore Wind Power Becomes Europe’s Largest Growth Market
Offshore wind projects are located far from land, and AC transmission faces challenges related to reactive power compensation and cable charging currents; VSC-HVDC is typically the preferred solution for large-scale offshore wind projects. Offshore FDC projects currently under construction or in the planning stages in Europe will continue to drive demand for highly reliable, moisture- and heat-resistant, low-maintenance capacitors. Several of Siemens Energy’s offshore and cross-border interconnection projects have already adopted HVDC PLUS technology with an MMC structure.
Capacitors Are Evolving Toward Higher Voltage, Larger Capacitance, and Lower Inductance
Mainstream products are shifting from 2.0–2.8 kV to 3.0–4.0 kV, with capacitance expanding from 4,000–6,000 μF to 8,000–12,000 μF, while simultaneously requiring ESL values below 30–50 nH and further reductions in ESR. Manufacturers such as TDK have already launched low-inductance DC-link products designed for high-frequency SiC power electronic systems, with rated voltages reaching 2 kV, reflecting the trend toward higher frequencies and lower inductance.
6.5 kV IGBTs, IGCTs, and SiC Transform Product Architecture
IGBTs or IGCTs operating at higher voltage levels can reduce the number of converter valve submodules and lower control complexity, but they increase the voltage and energy density of individual submodules. The market may experience a structural shift in the future characterized by “sales growth lagging behind the growth in HVDC capacity, while the value per unit increases.” China Southern Power Grid has announced a technological breakthrough in 6.5 kV/3 kA IGBT HVDC converter valve technology.
Dry-type metallized polypropylene film becomes the mainstream choice
HVDC support capacitors require self-healing, non-polarity, low loss, and high ripple current resistance; dry-type metallized polypropylene film has already captured approximately 85% of the market. Liquid-impregnated products are still used in some high-voltage, high-energy-density, or special-environment projects.
Online Condition Monitoring Is Gradually Becoming Standard Equipment
Due to the large number of capacitors in MMCs, capacity degradation or rising ESR in a single capacitor can affect the voltage balance of the submodule. Future products will increasingly integrate monitoring of temperature, pressure, and electrical parameters, and will assess capacity and remaining life through the converter valve control system. Relevant standards from the Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering have already included the condition evaluation of submodule DC support capacitors as a core component.
Domestic Substitution in China Enters the Stage of Engineering-Scale Mass Production
In China’s early HVDC projects, high-end support capacitors were primarily supplied by European and Japanese companies. In recent years, companies such as XD Electric Capacitor, Guilin Capacitor, Faratron, Saijing, and Chenrui have successively completed product certification and engineering validation, marking the transition of domestic production from the prototype stage to mass production.
