Abstract This article presents the direct torque control (DTC) strategy for the doubly fed induction motor (DFIM) connected to two three-level voltage source inverters (3LVSIs) with neutral point clamped (NPC) structure. This control method allows to reduce the torque and flux ripples as well as to optimize the total harmonic distortion (THD) of motor currents. The use of 3LVSI increases the number of generated voltage, which allows improving the quality of its waveform and thus improves the DTC strategy. The system modeling and control are implemented in Matlab/Simulink environment. The analysis of simulation results shows the better performances of this control, especially in terms of torque and flux behavior, compared to conventional DTC.

<span>This work is dedicated to the study of an improved direct torque control of the doubly fed induction motor (DFIM). The control method adopts direct torque control 'DTC' because of its various advantages like the ease of implementation which allows a good performance at transient and steady state without PI regulators and rotating coordinate transformations. To do this, the modeling of the motor is performed. Subsequently, an explanation of the said command is spread out as well as the principle of adjusting the flux and the electromagnetic torque according to the desired speed. Then, the estimation method of these two control variables will be presented as well as the adopted switching table of the hysteresis controller model used based on the model of the multilevel inverters. Finally, the robustness of the developed system will be analyzed with validation in Matlab/Simulink environment to illustrate the performance of this control.</span>

The advantages and shortcomings of three-level voltage source inverters to be applied on locomotive traction electric drives are highlighted in relation to two-level ones. To protect wheels from slipping on rails, the control system is designed. The control system with protection from slipping uses system of direct torque control as the subordinated contour to produce control signals on voltage source inverter. The topology and principles of operation of both protections from slipping and direct torque control of traction induction motor with three-level voltage source inverters are described. The simplified structure of mechanical part of traction drive using basic and axle suspension is considered. The adequacy of designed control system is confirmed by means of Matlab, the results of mathematical modeling show a high convergence with the results of physical model of traction drive.

Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) is the most popular controller used in automatic systems, because of its robustness, ability to adapt the behaviors of the system, making them converge toward its optimum. These advantages are valid only in the case of the linear systems, as they present poor robustness in nonlinear systems. For that reason, many solutions are adopted to improve the PID robustness of the nonlinear systems. The optimization algorithm presents an efficient solution to generate the optimums PID gains adapting to the system’s nonlinearity. The regulation speed in the Direct Torque Control (DTC) is carried out by the PID controller, which caused many inconveniences in terms of speed (overshoot and rejection time), fluxes, and torque ripples. For that, this work describes a new approach for DTC of the Doubly Fed Induction Motor (DFIM) powered by two voltage inverters, using a PID controller for the regulation speed, based on a Genetic Algorithm (GA), which has been proposed for adjustment and optimizing the parameters of the PID controller, using a weighted combination of objective functions. To overcome the disadvantages cited at the beginning, the new hybrid approach GA-DTC has the efficiency to adapt to the system’s nonlinearity. This proposed strategy has been validated and implemented on Matlab/Simulink, which is attributed to many improvements in DFIM performances, such as limiting speed overshoot, reducing response time and the rate of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the stator and rotor currents, and minimizing the rejection time of speed and amplitude of the torque and flux ripples.

With development of power electronics and control Theories, the AC motor control becomes easier. So the AC motors are used instead of the DC motor in the drive applications. With this development, a several methods of control are invented. The field oriented control and direct torque control are from the best methods to control the drive systems. This paper is compared between the field oriented control and direct torque control to show the advantages and disadvantages of these methods of controls. This study discussed the effects of these methods of control on the total harmonic distortion of the current and torque ripples. This occurs through study the performance characteristics of the AC motor. The motor used in this study is an induction motor. This study is simulated through the MATLAB program.

Combining with some fuzzy of the direct torque control and the fuzzy control which is often used in the traditional AC motor control,we put forward a direct torque control theory based on the fuzzy rule. The brushless doubly-fed machine(BDFM) closed-loop control system with the direct torque control based on the fuzzy rule is simulated by using of the Matlab/Simulink software, and the simulation results show that the closed-loop control method is correct and effective.

This paper presents improved Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) of the Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Three-Phase Induction Motor (IM) for high performance and torque control industrial drive applications. The performance of the IM using PI Controllers and general fuzzy controllers are meager level under load disturbances and transient conditions. The FLC is extended to have a less computational burden which makes it suitable for real time implementation particularly at constant speed and torque disturbance operating conditions. Hybrid control has advantage of integrating a superiority of two or more control techniques for better control performances. A fuzzy controller offers better speed responses for startup and large speed errors. If the nature of the load torque is varied, the steady state speed error of DTC based IM drive with fuzzy logic controller becomes significant. To improve the performance of the system, a new control method, Hybrid fuzzy PI control is proposed. The effectiveness of proposed method is verified by simulation based on MATLAB. The proposed Hybrid fuzzy controller has adaptive control over load toque variation and can maintain constant speed.
