In conventional direct torque control (DTC) of induction machines, undesirable flux and torque ripples are produced. These occur since non of the selected inverter's voltage vectors are able to generate the exact voltage required to produce the desired changes in the electromagnetic torque and stator flux linkage in most of the switching instances. In addition, when direct torque control is imp...

This paper presents analysis, modeling, and design of a low-harmonic, isolated, active-clamped SEPIC rectifier for future avionics applications. Simpler converter dynamics, high switching frequency, zerovoltage-switching, and a single-layer transformer construction result in an efficiency of 90% and a very low total harmonic distortion over 400 -800 Hz line frequency variation.
