By using simulation based modelling it is proven that; in combination with switching harmonic cancellation techniques; for a given output power, direct shaping allows for better utilization of devices and subsequently the minimization of losses without sacrificing power quality.}, conference = {2013 15th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (EPE)}, doi = {10.1109/EPE.2013.6634633}, note = {Depositor has confirmed that this is the Author's Accepted Manuscript in email 14.07.2016.
