This paper deals with the Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Dual Indirect Matrix Converter (DIMC) feeding an open-end winding three-phase Induction Motor (IM). Indeed, the open-end winding topology allows overcoming the main problem of Common-Mode Voltage (CMV) which is responsible of presence of stresses in the motor winding in classical topologies, controlling separately the winding of the three-phases, reducing the voltage stress of the power electronics switches and to decreasing the voltage and current harmonics in each phase. The proposed Dual-output Indirect Matrix Converter generates 18 active voltage space vectors. Whereas, in the proposed algorithm presented in this paper to ensure the control of the proposed topology it is implemented only with two null vectors and six active voltage vectors for each output. It is based on same idea of the space vector pulse width modulation that is applied separately for both converters to ensure the control of their output voltages. Indeed, to ensure the required voltage at each winding the output voltage of the first matrix converter are generated normally and output voltage of the second matrix converter are generated with 180° phase shift. The obtained simulation results prove clearly the overall performance of the control of the studied drive system based on the proposed topology and its control algorithm which may be extended to other drive system application, especially in industrial application where more improved performances are required.
