Direct Torque Control using multilevel inverter (DTC-MLI) with hysteresis controller suffers from high torque and flux ripple and variable switching frequency. In this paper, a constant frequency torque controller is proposed to enhance the DTC-MLI performance. The operational concepts of the constant switching frequency torque controller of a DTC-MLI system followed by the simulation results and analysis are presented. The proposed system significantly improves the DTC drive in terms of dynamic performance, smaller torque and flux ripple, and retain a constant switching frequency.

Selection Of

<p>Direct Torque Control (DTC) is widely applied for ac motor drives as it offers high performance torque control with a simple control strategy. However, conventional DTC poses some disadvantages especially in term of variable switching frequency and large torque ripple due to the utilization of torque hysteresis controller. Other than that, performance of conventional DTC fed by two-level inverter is also restricted by the limited numbers of voltage vectors which lead to inappropriate selection of voltage vectors for different speed operations. This research aims to propose a Constant Switching Frequency (CSF) torque controller for DTC of induction motor (IM) fed by three-level Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC) inverter. The proposed torque controller utilizes PI controller which apply different gain for different speed operation. Besides, the utilization of NPC inverter provides greater number of voltage vectors which allow appropriate selection of voltage vectors for different operating condition. Using the proposed method, the improvement of DTC drives in term of producing a constant switching operation and minimizing torque ripple are achieved and validated via experimental results.</p>

In order to reduce the ripples of flux linkage and torque for direct torque control (DTC) and ensure constant inverter switching frequency, permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) DTC based on space vector modulation (SVM) and extended Kalman filter (EKF) is researched in the paper. Simulation results have shown that the inherent advantages of fast dynamic response of DTC are maintained, and flux linkage and torque ripples are effectively reduced. Speed is estimated accurately, and sensorless operation is realized.

In order to improve the dynamic servo performance of PMLSM, a classical direct torque control (DTC) scheme based on bang-bang control is proposed in the paper. The proposed control method uses the bang-bang hysteresis controller formed a dual-closed loop control system, it contains torque loop and flux loop. The DTC control model was established and the simulation experiment was made. The simulation experiment results show that the DTC can improve the dynamic performance of PMLSM. It can reduce the ripples of speed and torque, so that it can provide more precision and accuracy servo performance.

Simulation Results

Direct torque control (DTC) has been widely used due to its advantages of less parameter dependence and faster torque response. However, in conventional DTC, there are obvious torque and flux ripples. This paper studies the influence of zero space voltage vectors on DTC system of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The control model is established with Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results show that the ripple torque can be reduced significantly when zero space voltage vectors are used. Meanwhile, the use of zero space voltage vectors can evidently decrease the switching frequency of the power switches as well as the switching loss. The achievements in this paper can provide a reference to improve DTC performance of PMSM.

This paper presents the significant improvement of Direct Torque Control (DTC) of 3-phases induction machine using a Cascaded H-Bidge Multilevel Inverter (CHMI). The largest torque ripple and variable switching frequency are known as the major problem founded in DTC of induction motor. As a result, it can diminish the performance induction motor control. Therefore, the conventional 2-level inverter has been replaced with CHMI the in order to increase the performance of the motor either in dynamic or steady-state condition. By using the multilevel inverter, it can produce a more selection of the voltage vectors. Besides that, it can minimize the torque ripple output as well as increase the efficiency by reducing the switching frequency of the inverter. The simulation model of the proposed method has been developed and tested by using Matlab software. Its improvements were also verified via experimental results.
