Direct torque control (DTC) is a control technique in AC drive systems to obtain high performance torque control. The classical DTC drive contains a pair of hysteresis comparators and suffers from variable switching frequency and high torque ripple. These problems can be solved by using space vector depending on the reference torque and flux. In this paper the space vector modulation technique is applied to the three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter control in the proposed DTC-based induction motor drive system, resulting to a significant reduce of torque ripple. Three-level neutral point clamped inverters have been widely used in medium voltage applications. This type of inverters have several advantages over standard two-level VSI, such as greater number of levels in the output voltage waveforms, less harmonic distortion in voltage and current waveforms and lower switching frequencies. This paper emphasizes the derivation of switching states using the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique. The control scheme is implemented using Matlab/Simulink. Experimental results using dSPACE validate the steady-state and the dynamic performance of the proposed control strategy.


A new approach to Direct torque control of induction motor is presented in this paper.A ripple in torque of the induction motor is a very common problem and it is to bereduced. In conventionalDTCmethodstheinverter has constant switching frequency and is dramatically increased. In proposed DTC based induction motor drive, an improved space vector modulation technique is applied to inverter control, therefore reducingthe torque/speed ripples. As the proposed approach does not include any dead beat control or hysteresis control, it automatically reduces computational calculations. Simulation results of proposed DTC based induction motor drive technique is validated using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment
