Abstract :
This paper proposes an approach to integrate the resonant DC link inverter with a soft switching boost rectifier stage. Several advantages accrue from this arrangement on the system level including: robust performance during voltage sag conditions; improved line current THD and input power factor; and reduced DC bus capacitance requirements. Furthermore, as compared to the conventional PWM-VSI, the low frequency ripple current can be reduced. This paper includes analytical and experimental results
