Control parameter selection in auxiliary resonant commutated pole converters

This paper addresses the optimum selection of the boost current and threshold current control parameters for the ARCP soft switching technique. The parameters are derived based on a minimization of the output voltage distortion induced by the ARCP operation. The impact of the proper selection of the resonant parameters on the system design is discussed.
