It does cause ripple from the batteries, but works very well.
I believe the ripple is less important when using FOC, because of the simultanous PWM on 3 phase with PWM configured in centered mode.

He also did one that is rated for around 200ampRMS and uses 380uF.
Ok thus the 400A controller is diy too !!

So, rather than basing anything on math, I'm just basing it on him doing it and it working. haha.
No really other solution, I never find magical formula to choose the capacitor value. I believe the most important thing is the ESR, not the total capacitor value.
