Basically, the direct torque control (DTC) drive system is operated at light load. At light load, supplying the drive system with rated flux will decrease the efficiency of the system. To maximize the efficiency of drive system, an optimal flux has been applied during steady-state but when a torque is suddenly needed, for example during acceleration, the dynamic of the torque response would be degraded. Therefore, a modification to the voltage vector as well as look-up table has been proposed for the torque response improvement. The proposed voltage vector is generated by adding two adjacent conventional voltage vectors and implemented by using duty ratio. The duty ratio is used to estimate the activation time of each conventional voltage vector in order to produce the proposed voltage vector.

The simplicity and excellent dynamic performance of Direct Torque Control (DTC) make Induction Motor (IM) drives attractive for many applications that require precise torque control. The traditional version of DTC uses hysteresis controllers. Unfortunately, the nature of these controllers prevents the optimization of the inverter voltage vectors inside the flux hysteresis band. The inverter voltage vector optimization can produce fast torque response of the IM drive. This research proposes two torque optimization methods for IM systems utilizing DTC. Analysis and Matlab simulations for the proposed optimization methods prove that the torque and, consequently, the speed responses, are greatly improved. The performances of the drive system controlled by the proposed optimization methods and the traditional DTC are compared. Conversely, the effects of the parameters on the proposed optimization methods are introduced. The proposed methods greatly improve the torque and speed dynamic performances against the traditional DTC technique. However, one of the proposed optimization methods is more sensitive to IM parameter variations than the other.

One of the disadvantages of traditional direct torque control is high torque ripple, A method of reduce torque ripple was proposed basing bus-clamping and duty ratio control technique in this paper. Firstly, the switch vector table with bus-clamping technology was improved by analyzing the role of zero voltage vector to reduce torque ripple in different sector of voltage. Secondly, on the base of combing the improved bus-clamping direct torque control (BCDTC) and discrete duty ratio control (DDRC), a new switch vector table with discrete duty ratio and bus clamping was designed by analyzing the role of zero voltage vector to reduce torque ripple in different speed range. Finally, simulations are performed to verify the proposed strategies.

Purpose Direct Torque Control (DTC) of induction motor drives is a well-established technique owing to features such as fast dynamic and insensibility to motor parameters. However, conventional DTC scheme, based on comparators and the switching table, suffers from large torque and flux ripples. To improve DTC performance, this study aims to propose and implement a sensorless finite-state predictive torque control using extended Kalman Filter in dSPACE environment. Design/methodology/approach This paper deals with the design of an extended Kalman filter for estimating the state of an induction motor model and for sensorless control of systems using this type of motor as an actuator. A complex-valued model is adopted that simultaneously allows a simpler observability analysis of the system and a more effective state estimation. Findings Simulation and experimental results reveal that the drive system, associated with this technique, can effectively reduce flux and torque ripples with better dynamic and steady state performance. Further, the proposed approach maintains a constant switching frequency. Originality/value The proposed speed observer have been developed and implemented experimentally under different operating conditions such as parameter variation, no-load/load disturbances and speed variations in different speed operation regions.

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.

Among all control methods for induction motor drives, Direct Torque Control (DTC) seems to be particularly interesting being independent of machine rotor parameters and requiring no speed or position sensors. The DTC scheme is characterized by the absence of PI regulators, coordinate transformations, current regulators and PWM signals generators. In spite of its simplicity, DTC allows a good torque control in steady state and transient operating conditions to be obtained. However, the presence of hysterics controllers for flux and torque could determine torque and current ripple and variable switching frequency operation for the voltage source inverter. This paper is aimed to analyze DTC principles, and the problems related to its implementation, especially the torque ripple and the possible improvements to reduce this torque ripple by using a proposed fuzzy based duty cycle controller. The effectiveness of the duty ratio method was verified by simulation using Matlab/Simulink software package. The results are compared with that of the traditional DTC models.

The performance of conventional direct torque control strategy from the viewpoint of flux and torque ripples has been unsatisfactory. Therefore, this study aims to propose a novel finite-control-set model predictive direct torque control strategy with extended output based on two-step prediction. An appropriate pre-selected vector, which is modulated in a specific manner, is selected through a look-up table and then used to optimise the pre-selected voltage vector based on the computing result from the model prediction and output it. The proposed strategy extends the range of the vectors that can be used to enhance the flux and torque control performance and reduce ripples and computational complexity in comparison with the conventional finite-control-set model predictive direct torque control. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by conducting a verification test using dSPACE and Tyhpoon HIL 402 experimental platform.

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.

The conventional direct torque control (DTC) of induction motors has become the most used control strategy. This control method is known by its simplicity, fast torque response, and its lack of dependence on machine parameters. Despite the cited advantages, the conventional DTC suffers from several limitations, like the torque ripples. This chapter aims to improve the conventional DTC performances by keeping its advantages. These ripples depend on the hysteresis bandwidth of the torque and the sampling frequency. The conventional DTC limitations can be prevented by increasing the sampling frequency. Nevertheless, the operation with higher sampling frequency is not possible with the software solutions, like the digital signal processor (DSP), due to the serial processing of the implemented algorithm. To overcome the DSP limitations, the field programmable gate array (FPGA) can be chosen as an alternative solution to implement the DTC algorithm with shorter execution time. In this chapter, the FPGA is chosen thanks to its parallel processing.
