Direct Torque Control Space Vector Modulation for Induction Motor Driven by Matrix Converter

Abstract

This study proposes enhancing induction motor (IM) drive systems by developing a DTC-MC with SVPWM integration to reduce ripple. DTC-MC is effective for precise torque control in AC drives, offering high control accuracy by isolating stator flux and torque. The method excels in sensor-less speed control, maintaining unity input power factor at low speeds, and constant switching frequency for rapid torque adjustments. Combining DTC-MC with SVPWM improves simplicity, dynamic behavior, and torque response. The DTC-SVM approach further refines the torque response by correcting flux and torque discrepancies. MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations validated the approach, showing a robust dynamic response and significantly reduced motor torque ripple and control of speed.
